Summary: The book is sop adorable. I am starting to think that the whole series of Junie B. Jones books are adorable and funny. This particular book is about Junie B. and riding the stupid smelly bus. It is Junie B.'s first day of kindergarten and she isn't scared of school but she is a little scared of the bus. She gets on the bus and people are rude to her and then she gets to school and hears even worse things about the bus. She takes a stand and does something to avoid riding the bus. Junie B causes Mrs. a lot of anxiety with what she does but it wouldn't be Junie B if she didn't do something outrageous. I would use this book in my classroom if I had some students who had anxiety about riding the bus or to just bring humor into the classroom. Whether the students have to ride the bus or not they will enjoy the book.
