A Sure Cure for the Blues: Junie B. Jones

Here is my book pick for the week. Junie B. Jones. There are about 24 Junie B. Jones books, and they are all hilarious. Junie B. is a kindergartener in the first 12 or so and then she becomes a first grader. The picture has some of the kindergarten books and some of the first grader ones. It doesn't matter which one you read first, they are all so great.

These books are the best cure for depression out there. (Disclaimer: If you are on depression medication, please don't go off just because you read these books. Talk to your doctor first.) Seriously. We all have bad days and rough times, but you honestly can't help laughing with these! We've all known little kids that say the goofiest things, and in these books, author Barbara Park creates the most loveable and realistic 5 year old ever.

So here's my challenge for you - go find a Junie B. Jones book - any of them. (My personal favorites are One Man Band, Aloha-ha-ha, and Toothless Wonder.) Get it from your library or go buy it from your local book store - I think they are about $4. Then read it and post your thoughts on here. Also, if you know someone else that you think should join this book blog, let me know and I will invite them! (I sent invites to Martha, Maren, and Abby already).

Enjoy and remember to post your thoughts!
