Junie B. Jones Is a Party Animal- Series Study

Junie B. Jones Is a Party Animal is one of the many books that are included in the Junie B. Jones series. These books are the tales of a young girl named Junie B. Jones. They are written from her perspective and are very witty. This book deals with Junie B. and her first sleepover at her friend Lucille's house. Lucille lives in a mansion and has very nice things. This is not something that Junie B. is used to. She finds herself spilling food and destroying prized possessions. Everything seems great about Lucille's house at first, but Junie B. soon finds that she has to be careful with everything that she says and does. Suddenly, this sleepover isn't quite as great as she had thought it was going to be. When Junie B. arrives home, she realizes that her house isn't so bad after all. At least at home she has plastic cups. I had never read a Junie B. Jones book before we decided to use them for our series study. I could not be happier with this choice. These books are great for adults and for children. Junie B. is so funny and makes everything into a great adventure. This book teaches kids the importance of appreciating their own family and belongings. Although someone else's life may seem perfect, it might not be as great as they had first imagined.
