Amazon.com Review
The irrepressible Junie B.--room 9's most boisterous first grader nonpareil--has returned for another adventure, this time around as a hair-netted, plastic-mitted "helper" in the school cafeteria. (Her dad wisely guesses where this one's going: "A helper doesn't make things more difficult, Junie B. A helper makes things easier. Okay?") The 19th installment in this spunky series begins with much ado over the cultural implications of bought and brought lunches and the exciting arrival of a shiny new lunch box. ("Come, Herb! Come, Lennie and Jose! It's time for you to watch me eat out of my new lunch box!") But events quickly eclipse such trifles, as Junie B. runs into good ol' Mrs. Gutzman again, her "snack lady" from way back in kindergarten. ("That woman was a gem, I tell you.")

You might start feeling like Junie B.'s getting a little too irrepressible in her old age. But then again, maybe you've just had a long day (like Junie B.'s dad, presumably). Whatever the case, Barbara Park still rules the school with her likeable beginning chapter-book series, and you can bet Junie B. will be back for more, even after her lunch box loses its luster. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes

Product Description
A Junie B. Jones Book, #19

Something very wonderful is happening to Junie B. Jones. And it’s called—hurray, hurray!—she’s getting to be a professional lunch lady! And that means hanging out with Mrs. Gutzman in the cafeteria. And standing behind the counter. And even wearing a real actual hair net! Who knows? Pretty soon she could be the boss of the whole entire lunch operation!

5 out of 5 stars But, how can a girl resist?   January 15, 2008
J. Arena (Williamsburg, VA)


Just as Junie B. Jones can't resist the lure of opening her new lunch box decorated with pictures of baby birds, despite the rule against opening a lunch box outside the cafeteria, you won't be able to resist buying this new Barbara Parks novel.

Our favorite kindergartner is back, but now she's in the first grade with a whole new set of challenges and problems. Will she learn from all her misunderstandings and mistakes? If you're a fan of this series, you know that ultimately she will, with lots and lots of laughs along the way.

Just the thought of Junie B., First Grader: Boss of Lunch is enough to tantalize young readers to zip through this fun book and gobble up many more.

Recommended!



5 out of 5 stars Junie B. Jones, Boss of Lunch and reading entertainment   November 22, 2007
Jody Cunningham (Miami, Florida)
I have read many of the Junie B Jones series. As a teacher, the students can relate to Junie's silliness and uncertainty. Even I laugh out loud while reading with the studnets and I really can't wait to see what she will be into next.


5 out of 5 stars Review from my six year old daughter   July 29, 2007

This book was interesting. At the beginning she talked all about her lunch box, and she bragged about it too. I liked this book because it was funny. The words were not to hard for me to read.

I think lots of first graders should read this book.

Our 6 yr old granddaughter is a big reader now and loves the books and the series. Only objection I have is to using some words such as "stupid" which she is not allowed to use in her school.


5 out of 5 stars I love this book   May 18, 2006
I read Junie B. Jones Boss of Lunch. I think it is really funny! You should read it! Junie B. wanted to be a lunch helper. She gets all these lunch things like plastic mitts and a hair net. This is one of my favorite books.
