"Junie B. Jones books were some of my all time favorite chapter books when I was younger. I originally started reading them because I liked that the author had the same first name as me. As I continued reading I found myself lost in a Junie B. Jones world and collected as many books as I could. I could relate to them and found all of the stories so entertaining and joyful to read. I could not put them down, for an elementary student I thought this was quite rare. I look at all of the Junie B Jones books now and would love to read them all over again to see what sparked my interest back then. Barbara Parks is a great children's author, not just because she has a cool first name. This book was about Junie going to her first day of school. Meeting her teacher, riding the smelly school bus, and meeting new friends. These books are great for elementary or middle school students. They can easily relate to Junie while having a great time reading it. These are great books to use in the classroom for book reports, or books to read when you are finished with your work. The chapters are short and it gets students used to reading chapter books and helps to prepare them for the larger books they will read."

Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus Listener Reviews
-
" Junie B. Jones is going to kindergarten and has to ride the bus. She doesn't like riding the bus becuase it is smelly and everything about it is unattractive. She learns the riding the bus can be okay if she has an optimistic attitude about it and makes new friends. There are several great discussion points throughout the book that an adult can discuss with a child reader. "

" I give this five stars because it is so funny, especially Junie B. Jones and her new words. "

" Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus By Barbara Park is a beginner chapter book. Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus is part of a series of books all based off of Junie B. Jones. I think that Barbara Park created a great series of children's beginner chapter books. I really enjoyed reading these books, this one in particular, when I was in elementary school. These books are great to start out with because they have large text, some illustrations to accompany the text, and are not very lengthy. The book is a cute story about how Junie B. Jones is afraid of going home on the bus; this story can be very relatable and is enjoyable/entertaining to read. I would recommend this book to students that are around the age of seven to nine. I feel as if this book is geared more toward girls but I also think that boys may enjoy it. Overall I think this is a great and fun book to read. "

" this book is okay. it is not the best. "
— Sucha, 9/28/2013 -
" Very funny beginning chapter book. The grumpy kindergartener Junie B is a character that will appeal to many girls and boys too. Some incorrect grammar and not-really-so-bad bad words ("stupid" "hate" etc) but that is part of the charm. Looking forward to reading more of the series. "
— Beth, 10/27/2012 -

" Remember when it was scary to go to school? 'Cause it was your first day and you didn't know anything. Meet Junie B. Jones, kindergartner. She's so scared of the school bus and the meanies on it that when it's time to go home, she doesn't. "
— Sam, 4/27/2010 -
" This book was my favorite one out of all of them in the series "
— Rebekah, 12/2/2009 -
" Cute story about a little girl who always seems to be in the middle of trouble. Not particularly fond of the excessive use of 'stupid' and 'hate' to describe everything. Not language I want my kids to use. "
— Tammy, 10/6/2008 -

" Junie B. Jones is going to kindergarten for the first time and isn't very excited to ride on the bus. After school, she decides to hid so she won't have to ride the bus. She ends up locked in the school and does some exploring. She eventually gets home after she calls 911 for her "emergency." "
— Stephanie, 7/24/2008 -
" This is so funny to read with your children. "
— Mandy, 7/13/2008 -
" I didn't like the use of the words "stupid" and "hate" that were used throughout the book. I reminded the kids that those are naughty words at our house and we don't use them even if we saw them in a book. "
— Beth, 2/28/2008 -
" I used to love Junie B. Jones but I felt like the book could have been better and have more details but it was ok. "
— Tamara, 10/25/2007 -
" I didn't like how often this book used the word "stupid" as that is a word I encourage my kids not to use. Still, I think my Kindergartner could relate to Junie's feelings about school. So, we'll give book #2 a chance. "
— Kami, 9/22/2007 -
" We did not finish this book. After about 3 or 4 chapters I couldn't take it anymore. Junie B. is constantly saying how things are stupid, people are stupid and dumb, and how she hates everything. Well I HATE her! "
— Megan, 5/13/2007
