The Junie B. Jones books, written by Barbara Park and illustrated by Denise Brunkus, are among the best-selling children’s chapter book series in the United States. The series began in 1992 with Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus and grew to include more than 30 titles across the original kindergarten series, the Junie B., First Grader spin-off, and several non-fiction activity books.
The books are written entirely from Junie B.’s perspective, complete with her own unique grammar, creative spelling, and strong opinions about everything from school bus rides to fruitcake. Barbara Park had a gift for capturing how young children actually talk and think, which is a big part of why the series has sold over 60 million copies worldwide. Park continued writing the series until her death in 2013, and the books remain popular with early readers who are just starting to read chapter books on their own.
