About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the realization that life is full of rules that feel unfair or restrictive. Junie B. Jones is a relatable protagonist for children who feel big emotions and want to solve their own problems, even if their logic is a bit messy. It is an excellent choice for kids who need to see that it is okay to feel frustrated, and that creativity is a powerful tool for navigating school-life hurdles. In this installment, Junie B. is devastated to learn her beloved dog, Tickle, isn't allowed at school for Pet Day. What follows is a humorous and honest exploration of a child's thought process as she considers everything from a jar of dirt to a dead fish as a replacement. The story normalizes the 'mouthiness' and impulsivity common in the elementary years, making it a comforting read for children who don't always feel like the perfect student.
