Lucille is having a sleepover party, and Junie B. Jones can't wait! That's because Lucille lives in her richie nanna's big giant house. But before her parents let  her go, Junie B. has to learn all the rules of sleep in other persons house: no running, no jumping, no shouting, no spying, no head-butting, no cheating at games and no talking back to the nanna. Its sound like “no,no,no,no,no,no…..” what kind of party is that? But trust on Junie B. she for sure  finds some way to make things interesting...

I must admit that I love this girl, I love her way of thinking, her endless happiness, her unique take on the world. If you look for a classic books with moral for life, it’s not the book for you.

It’s fun book, and its will put a smile on your children face. Children can learn some helpful tips from the book; Junie B. Jones Is a Party Animal gives kids a good idea of what kinds of activities they can do when they are going to sleepover (pillow fight, dress up show, etc.). It also gives kids an idea of the "finer things of life," which aren't actually better than a "regular" life. For example, the girls can't sit on Lucille's bed, because her silk comforter is just for show and most of the objects in the home are untouchable, for some reason, or other. She even can it the things she like because the dinnerware can be broken and at the end of the day, she preferred to go to her “regular” nana and eat there!

For a beginning chapter book for kindergarten to second graders, Junie B. Jones Is a Party Animal does well at engaging kids and getting them anxious for the next chapter.
