Junie B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business by Barbara Park
2.0
1.5/5
This second book of the Junie B. Jones series was slightly more tolerable than the first book, in the sense that there was a misunderstanding that was resolved quite nicely with some new vocabulary and phrases that kids can learn.
Unfortunately, I just don't find Junie B.'s attitude and lack of manners funny. She's a very angry child who likes to call everything "dumb" and holler when things don't go her way. She's also incredibly disrespectful toward her parents, grandparents, and friends. She never gets reprimanded for her poor behaviour. She even bullies her friends into giving her all of their things and is quickly forgiven for being a terrible friend!
The "world's funniest kindergartner"? More like the world's worst kindergartner.

Part of a personal challenge to read all of my boyfriend's and his sister's childhood books before we donate and give them away.

My average rating for this series so far: 1.88/5
