Negative Positive
Title: Junie B. is a bad role model
Review: This book might catch your child's interest - but it is likely to be in the same way that a smart aleck kid from the neighborhood might - and it is not a positive way!The grammar is poor - as an adult I understand that it's done for humorous effect; but my child doesn't get that! And Junie is rude, bossy, and she name calls; again, not the behavior I want my child emulating.Overall, the books seem entertaining but not really beneficial in any other way; there are many better books out there to hold the attention of young readers.* UPDATE: I am editing this review to just add my insight that this series of books is better suited to children ages 7 and up = I see now that kids of that general age range are much better equipped to identify the silliness of the characters and empathize with them by understanding why they act as they do - much better for second graders than kindergarteners or first graders - just my added two cents. Now that we are older, we enjoy them more.
