Junie B. Jones and the Mushy Gushy Valentine has been my favorite book so far. Junie B. got a valentine from a 'secret admirer'. Below describes when she's trying to figure out who her admirer is. Maybe it won't be as funny to you-- but it cracked me up.
I wrinkled up my nose very darling.
"Yeah, only you don't even have to be shy of me anymore, William. 'Cause I think I know your secret," I said.
After that, I put my chin on his table. And I winked my eye at him. Only I'm not actually good at winking. And so I have to say the words.
"Wink, wink, William," I said. "Wink, wink, wink. See my eye? See how it is trying to wink at you?"
And here's an excerpt from the book we're reading right now, Junie B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business:
A crib is a bed with bars on the side of it. It's kind of like a cage at the zoo. Except with a crib, you can put your hand through the bars. And the baby won't pull you in and kill you.
How hilarious is that???

I am impressed that you can read in the car. I would puke after about 5 minutes. (I'm already feeling green just thinking about it.)
Junie B Jones is great! I wish those books had been around when I was little.
Those are funny. I can't believe you read in the car either. I'd puke.
I love Junie B. Jones too! When Kyle was in 1st grade, I'd go in his class to help a lot, and I thought his teacher was the biggest WITCH! She was always yelling at those poor kids. Anyway, once I heard her read a Junie B. Jones book to the kids and she did it perfect. Now I look back on her with fond memories, just cuz've the way she did Junie.
I love it! I've never heard of these books before, but I'm definitely going to be getting them! Made me laugh!
I remember reading Junie B. Jones to some college friends about 8years ago (after being introduced to it by nephews) and wanting so badly for them to appreciate it like I did. It's definitely much more enjoyable with children...and adults that can think like children.
