Junie B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business

Junie B. Jones finds out that her mother is having a baby. Junie is not too excited about having a little brother or sister because they smell like “P.U.” Before long, Junie’s mother is in the hospital giving birth to Junie’s brother. Junie gets to spend the night at her Grandpa Miller’s house. She is very excited about spending the night at Grandpa Miller’s house because she gets to try on her grandma’s clothes and most importantly she gets to eat a pie for dinner and only a pie. In the morning Junie’s grandma arrives and starts talking about the baby. Grandma Miller says, “Your new brother is the cutest little monkey I’ve ever seen!” Junie takes that as if her brother was a real monkey. So Junie goes to school and tells everybody that her brother is a monkey. Junie’s two best friends fight over who gets to see the baby monkey first. So they start to bribe Junie. When the teacher (Mr. as Junie calls her) finds out she sends Junie to the principal’s office to straighten out the little monkey business. The principal calls Grandma Miller and she tells Junie she did not really mean her brother was a monkey only that he was cute. So the principal takes Junie into the class and tells them of Junie’s misunderstanding.

I liked how Junie and a boy smiled at each other and she thought he was her boyfriend. She also said she had another boyfriend. I can totally remember being in second grade and the same boy was dating half the girls in the class.
Junie likes to convert words to their true meanings a lot
She talks of many descriptive things and what she likes and does not like a lot.
