I loved reading this book. I liked this book because of language and the character. The author writes in a very kid friendly way. Readers are able to easily understand the meaning of the chapter because of the clear detail that is given. Many times you can imagine the scene. For example, " First, I

touched some fruit, and an avocado, and a squishy tomato. Then I put my hand in the butter. And also some creamy cottage cheese." Although there is not picture, I can mentally see these items and Junie B. touching them. The second thing that I enjoyed about this book is the character Junie B. Junie B messes up a lot in the story and it is often times relateable to mistakes that real like children can make. Junie B brings humor to the book which I think really pulls in readers. Everything that Junie B also says is appropriate for someone her age. For example, "Look at how big everything is, Mrs. Gutzman," I said. "Look at that big dishwater over there. And look at those big refrigerators! And woah!" Children are often memorized by the smallest things and I think that Junie B captures that very well in her character. Overall, this books goes through the dilemma that Junie B has with being a an assistant at lunch and her relationship with her classmates and Mrs. Gutzman.

I liked this book because of the point of view. The story is written in first person and I think this draws the readers into the story due to the narrative format. For example, when Junie B. is given plastic mitts because she has the chance to be the “lunch lady” she says, “I gasped at those

wonderful things.” The dialogue and first person makes the text more relatable for a young reader. Junie B. is a fun loving and humorous first grader. The book is fun and comical and would be an entertaining read for a student at the second grade or possibly first grade level. I think the central message of the book is responsibility. Junie B. is asked to be a helper in the cafeteria. Junie B. was thrilled to have this opportunity, but realized that it was a lot of work. I think it shows students that responsibilities may be hard at times, but it is all worth it in the end. Show Less

In my opinion, “Junie B., First Grader: Boss of Lunch” is a great children’s chapter book. Junie B. is now in first grade and believes that brought lunches are better than bought lunches! But when she doesn’t receive a sugar cookie at lunch, she reaches out to Mrs. Gutzman for help. Mrs.

Gutzman, the lunch lady, suggests that Junie B. become a lunch helper! First, the plot of the story has a perfect conflict-resolution. The story is engaging for young students because it is relatable. Second, the characters are well-developed and believable. Because the point of view is in first person, the story is extremely funny! Since Junie B. is telling the story it is more entertaining and interesting than the story would be in third person. For example, “I rolled me eyes way up to the sky. ‘Cause Daddy always has to be in on everything.” This shows her spunky personality, that you get to see because the story is in first person. The big idea of this story is teaching children responsibility, and understanding reward from hard work! Show Less

Me and my daughter have loved reading Barbara Park’s Junie B. Jones books at bedtime for the past two years. This book was titled “Junie B., First Grader – Boss of Lunch.” I have noticed that this was a perfect chapter book for young readers to start off with because it is narrated by Junie

B. Jones in a first grader’s dialect. My daughter loved listening to me make her silly voices as I read the books with her. It was also easy for her to read. After reading a few of these with my daughter, we made it a game to correct Junie’s grammar on each page. Her cute stories make for a perfect setup for an intimate parent-child literacy moment. It allows parents to get a glimpse into a child’s perspective. In this book, Junie B. getting a new lunchbox was a monumental moment for her; something that parents would overlook as something important to a child. All of Junie B. Jones books teach moral lessons in a fun and silly way. These books emerge young readers into chapter books. I know that my daughter would give this book a five, and I find it worthy of the same!
