Full Text Reviews:
School Library Journal - 08/01/2002 Gr 1-3-Junie B. is excited because she has a brand-new lunch box. She can't resist sneaking peeks in it during class and is caught by her teacher. The child instigates a discussion about why brought lunches are better than bought lunches and sums it all up by saying, "'Cause brought lunches are made special by our very own mothers!" Later that day at lunch, she sees a cafeteria worker who used to bring milk and cookies to Junie B.'s kindergarten class, and asks why her class doesn't get them this year. The woman explains that first graders get cookies when they buy their lunch. Junie B. convinces Mrs. Gutzman to let her be a helper in the cafeteria where she thinks that she'll be the boss and get to eat as many cookies as she wants. This cleverly written beginning chapter book is as funny as ever and young readers will laugh with the child as she learns that working in a cafeteria isn't just about eating cookies. A few black-and-white drawings in each chapter capture the confident little girl and her many adventures.-Kristin de Lacoste, South Regional Public Library, Pembroke Pines, FL Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information. - Copyright 2002 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
Booklist - 07/01/2002 Lunchroom trials and tribulations take center stage in the latest Junie B. Jones story. The agony of not being able to explore a new lunchbox during class is followed by the ecstasy of finally getting to the lunchroom. That's followed by the agony of discovering that all her classmates are getting a hot lunch because yummy hoagies are on the menu. Junie B. is still sassy, hilarious, and insightful in an authentically childlike way, and Park obviously understands the passions and fears of first-graders. Her depiction of school dynamics is right on target, even as she keeps the reading level down to an easy chapter-book level. - Copyright 2002 Booklist.
