Junie B. First Grader at Last By: Barbara Park
Illustrated: Denise Brunkus
Scholastic, New York
Copy Right: 2001
(Series Selection-5)
Junie is no longer in room 9 with her favorite teacher. She is a first grader with new kids in her room and a new teacher, Mr. Scary (only she is not scared of him). This book is all about her becoming assimilated with new kids in her class and forming those new friendships. There is also the acquisition of glasses by Junie that at first cause her turmoil.
This was a great first book in the First grade series. I enjoyed reading it, as did my daughter. There were several instances for both adults and children to make text to self connection in this book. Beginning a new class is something we have all done in our lives. We all can remember the trepidation of starting something new and not knowing any of the people around us.
