About this listen

Meet the World's Funniest Kindergartner—Junie B. Jones!

Remember when it was scary to go to school? With over 50 million books in print, Barbara Park's New York Times bestselling chapter book series, Junie B. Jones, is a classroom favorite and has been keeping kids laughing—and reading—for over 20 years! In the 1st Junie B. Jones book, it's Junie B.'s first day and she doesn't know anything. She's so scared of the school bus and the meanies on it that when it's time to go home, she doesn't.

USA TODAY:
"Junie B. is the darling of the young-reader set."

Publisher's Weekly:
"Park convinces beginning readers that Junie B.—and reading—are lots of fun."

Kirkus Reviews:
"Junie's swarms of young fans will continue to delight in her unique take on the world….A hilarious, first-rate read-aloud."

Time Magazine:
"Junie B. Jones is a feisty six-year-old with an endearing penchant for honesty."© 1992 Barbara Park; (P)2002 Random House, Inc. Listening Library, an imprint of the Random House Audio Publishing Group

Critic reviews

Praise for Barbara Park’s Junie B. Jones series

“Park, one of the funniest writers around . . . brings her refreshing humor to the beginning chapter-book set.”Booklist

“Park convinces beginning readers that Junie B.—and reading—are lots of fun.”Publishers Weekly

“Junie’s swarms of young fans will continue to delight in her unique take on the world. . . . A hilarious, first-rate read-aloud.”Kirkus Reviews

“Junie B. Jones is a feisty six-year-old with an endearing penchant for honesty.”Time

“Park is truly a funny writer. Although Junie B. is a kindergartner, she’s sure to make middle graders laugh out loud.”School Library Journal

“Barbara Park captured, with authenticity and heart, the voice of a six-year-old child. Junie B. is a spunky little girl who is naive, lacks an attention span, has a vivid imagination, quick temper, a strong sense of injustice, and an inability to understand subtlety or nuance.” Book Riot
