Junie B., First Grader (at Last!) by Barbara Park
Hilarious. Barbara Park makes reading fun. --Dav Pilkey, author of Dog ManGet ready to go back to school with Junie B. Jones The World's Funniest Kindergartener is now officially a first grader The #1 New York Times bestselling chapter book series has been keeping kids laughing--and reading--for more than twenty-five years. Over 65 million copies sold Hurray, hurray for a brand-new school year Being in first grade means having to get used to a whole new classroom. And a whole new teacher. And a whole new bunch of strange children. But here's the worst thing of all: When Junie B. tries to read words on the chalkboard, she can't seem to see what everyone else is seeing Is it possible she might actually end up wearing glasses?
Barbara Park was best-known as the creator and author of the New York Times bestselling Junie B. Jones series, the stories of an outrageously funny kindergartener that have kept kids (and their grownups) laughing--and reading--for over two decades. The series was consistently a #1 New York Times bestseller, spending over 180 weeks on the list, and Barbara and her books were profiled in such national outlets as Time, Newsweek, USA Today, the New York Times, and Today.Barbara Park arrived at the writing profession through an indirect route. Before becoming a bestselling and beloved children's author, she originally intended to teach high school history and political science. She got her secondary education degree but quickly realized that her calling was to be a writer. After several rejections, Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers acquired her first manuscript, Operation: Dump the Chump and two others. Don't Make Me Smile was published first in 1981, followed by Operation: Dump the Chump (1982) and Skinnybones (1982). She went on to write over 50 books, from the picture book Ma! There's Nothing to Do Here!, a love letter to her grandson, to middle grade novels such as Skinnybones, The Kid in the Red Jacket, Mick Harte Was Here, and The Graduation of Jake Moon. Barbara won more than 40 children's book awards, including several Children's Choice Awards. Barbara Park was born in Mount Holly, New Jersey, on April 21, 1947, and spent most of her adult life in Arizona. There she, with her husband, Richard, raised her two sons and spent time with her two young grandsons. Park died on November 15, 2013 after fighting ovarian cancer heroically for seven and a half years.
