Junie B. First Grader : BOO --and I MEAN IT!

I remember when my kids first got hooked on the Junie B. Jones series by Barbara Parks. It was about four years ago when the twins were in the first grade. Their teacher read Junie B. books aloud to the class everyday and let me tell you, they loved it

There seems to be a Junie B. book for just about every occasion, including Halloween. In book number 24 of the series, Junie B. First Grader: BOO-and I MEAN IT!, Junie B. needs to find a costume that will scare off the real witches and ghosts she believes will be out haunting on Halloween. She decides to dress up as Squirty the Clown and then even the scariest of witches and goblins will be scared of her.

Junie B. Jones has a funny and unique way of expressing herself, coining phrases that ring true to the way most children her age say things. Ex: "Chills came on my arms."
