Junie B. Jones and the Supid Smelly Bus- Series Study

Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus is a story that all children should hear on the first day of school. This is when Junie B.'s kindergarten adventure begins. The book is about her first day of school. We all remember just how frightening that huge yellow school bus can be when we are not used to riding it every day. Junie B. has to face these fears. She gets on the bus to find that the kids are not nearly as nice as she had hoped. Some save seats for other kids and some say mean things. Junie B. decides that she does not like this bus at all. School does not prove to be so bad. She meets some of the other students in her class who are a little bit nicer than the kids on the bus. Unfortunately, the end of the day comes around and it's time to get back on that dreaded bus. Only this time Junie B. decides that she isn't going to ride the bus. She waits at the end of the line and hides in the classroom after the other students leave. She finds the supply closet, where she fits perfectly on one of the shelves. Junie B. stays in here concealed for quite some time. When she finally decides to come out and is found, she hears how people have been searching for her. That night, her mother calls one of her new friends from class and arranges for her and Junie B. to sit together on the bus the next day. This can show students that the bus really is not that scary. They may have thought that they were the only ones afraid of it, but it is actually a common fear that young children may have. The bus rides are only scary if you let them be.
