Junie B. Jones and the Mushy Gushy Valentime

I loved these books as a kid! Many children can relate to these books because it's current. The problems that Junie B. had are similar to those the kids these days face. The language Junie B. uses is the same, too. Her thought process was interesting. Kids these days think of the craziest things.

It's mind boggling to see their thought process translated into writing.

Class nine is having a valentine’s party and everyone is to get 17 valentine’s, but when Junie B only gets 16 Mrs. Is to the rescue and finds the one that was lost in.

this book is realy good.

This book is my favorite Barbara Parks book in the whole world. It has a very shocking ending that I loved.

I like reading about Junie B. Jones, however I do not care for the way these books are written. The child talks like a child, and it is written that way. It is a difficult text for the new/beginning reader. This book is about a kindergardener or first grader and is at a third grade reading level. I

feel the stories are cure, and my daughter who is in the third grade enjoys them, but I think the character could be a little older like the Harry the Horrible series. That being said I would use this book as a read aloud, or suggest for young readers who want a challenging text. I would also have to teach how writers use the ' apostophe to fill in a word when a sound is missing. The story is short, so young readers could be sucessful reading this text.

Junie B. Jones is so excited about Valentines Day. She did not expect to get a mushy gushy valentine from a secret admirer.

This is early chapter book is a good example of a realistic fiction book because it follows a girl, Junie B, who is having her first Valentines party in class and receives a secret Valentine, but is not an actual account of a girl named Junie B. Junie B. is the main character in the book, and in

the beginning mean Jim is the antagonist. The plot takes the reader through Junie B learning about "Valentime's" day and giving out cards, then the actual Valentime party. The conflict in the story is Junie B only getting 16 valentimes instead of 17, but then this is resolved by Mrs. (the teacher) finding another valentine in the box.

I read Junie B. Jones a lot when I was a child. I loved the voice that Junie had, and that she was so loud and stubborn. I was so interested in the situations that she got herself into -- I think that they were relate able to me at such a young age. Reading it now, as an adult, is a different story, but that is to be expected.

I liked the book “Junie B. Jones and the mushy gushy valentine” by Barbara Park for three reasons. First, the writing is engaging to students. Her funny spelling mistakes will allow students to laugh and even correct her mistake. Throughout this book she relates to “Valentine’s Day” as

“Valentime’s Day” a mistake that students should be able to point out. Second, the characters in Junie B. Jones are relatable to young students. For example, students may connect to having a best friend like Lucille in class. Third, the simple illustrations give students visualizations of what they reading. While they are advancing in their reading skills students may not rely on illustrations as much but having a few may benefit students. For example, when Paulie Allen Puffer is excited about his amazing idea, they show a picture of him. The big idea in this story is young students being creative to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
