Like many first rides on the bus, Junie B. does not like the environment. Her window will not go down, and it makes it hotter and hotter. There are too many kids yelling, and that makes Mr. Woo the bus driver yell. Not only is it loud, hott, and smelly, someone gets a footprint on Junie B.'s velvet skirt! How dare they!
She is already still a little uncomfortable with her new Kindergarten environment, and riding the bus just does not help the situation at all! Junie B. Jones is an amazing series to introduce to your primary classes. She uses childish vocabulary, like the word "meanies", that we know is not correct, but can still definitely relate to. Though there are 80 pages, it is a very quick read, especially when being read aloud to the class. A couple chapters a day will keep the students waiting for story time. I would recommend using this book at the beginning of the year, even if it isn't kindergarten. Every year we always get some of those scary, nervous feelings about going back to school, and getting back on the bus!
