I can easily see why this series has made it to 27 books and counting, some of which go on to tell about Junie B.'s first grade experience. Junie B. is consistently animated and constantly getting into some sort of trouble. In this book, Junie B. Jones and Her Big Fat Mouth, she doesn't know what to dress up as for job day at school because she doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up. She says on the bus that she wants to be someone who paints and carries keys and helps people, only she doesn't know a job like that. When she gets home from school, her parents are too busy taking care of Ollie, her new baby brother, to help her decide on a job. When she helps find Ollie's pacifier and wash off the germs, she finally decides what she's going to be for job day! A janitor! Because the janitor paints the trash cans, and he carries around keys to unlock the bathrooms, and he saved her from the dangerous life savers on the ground! Only she doesn't get the response she had hoped for from her class...
This series is easy to read (R.L.: 1.9), and VERY funny! As I said before, it would be good to read aloud because it is so animated. I would recommend this to a student looking for a good book. Also, the series stays consistent in the language and characters don't change much which is good for beginning readers.
