Junie B. Jones and the Mushy Gushy Valentine (Junie B. Jones, Book 14)

Well, of course, it's Junie B. Jones... The problem is, she just doens't know who sent it!

If you're a fan of Barbara Park's books you can just imagine what kind of misunderstandings will be afoot as Junie works on this question -- and the answer is not at all what you (or Junie) are expecting.

Junie B. Jones and the Mushy Gushy Valentine is a sweet Valentine's Day treat for your child, and you will enjoy reading it together.

A Mushy Gushy Valentine


Do you like reading books? Well I am one of those people who do not. I can read certain books that grab my attention and if they do then I like to read but that is just about the only time. One book that does grab attention and that I like is "Junie B. Jones and the Mushy Gushy Valentime". That book is my favorite book though it is a little kid's book. I have read this book about a million times. When I was littler that book was my favorite book ever.

I think this book is the best just because it has my favorite character in it, which is Junie B. Jones. Junie B. is so funny and she usually always has something mischievous going on. Her book teaches you stuff that you can actually use in life. All the Junie B. Jones books have a great author, which is Barbra Parks. Her books teach you stuff that you can actually use in life.

Ill tell you a little about this book and what happens. It's Valentines Day which Junie B. calls it Valentimes Day. Everybody in room 119 has to make cards for each other. They also have to make a box so other people can put their cards that they made into each other's boxes. Junie B. even gets a card so big that someone gave it to the teacher to give to Junie. That card was from a secret admirer. So this book teaches you that... you never know someone might act they hate you but they really like you.

I would most definitely recommend this book to others. I would say more than likely a young girl would read this book. The age group for this book would be from 7 anywhere to the age of 11. Like I have said in the previous this book would be for little kids.



So your probably wondering what else happens in this book. I would tell you but then it wouldn't be any good. The best part of the book is when you find out who the secret admirer is. So read this book and you will find out who is Junie B's secret admirer is.

This is a excellent book and here is my favorite part........ Oh yeah I need to tell you everyone was supposed to get 17 cards

Mrs: Guess what I found in the valentine box?
Junie B.:I thinked real hard .....a meatball I said
Mrs:Junie B., how many valentine cards did you get today?
Junie B.:*sixteen* I said
Mrs.: so guess what I found in the valentine box?
Junie B.: this time I thinked my hardest....a meatball I said

I must say, this is not my favorite Junie b. book, but its pretty good. I was suprised when Junie b.'s secret admierer turned out to be,meanie Jim!READ THIS BOOK PEOPLE!!!!!!

The title and the cover illustration told me it would be a quick read but I had the feeling I wouldn't enjoy it. It just seemed too cute. I decided to give it a read when I was stuck on a much harder book and needed a little fluff for my brain. By the bottom of the first page, I was in love with the book: "A 'nouncement is the school word for listen to me... and I MEAN it."

Barbara Park clearly understands how kids that age (four to six) think. So many of things that Junie B. says and thinks are things that could have come out of Sean's mouth or the mouths of his friends. I was laughing on almost every page.

As a parent of a child who is almost ready for kindergarten, I found this book about a Valentine's Day party very funny. Junie B's narration with all of the types of mistakes I've heard my son and his friends make made me laugh. The teacher's exasperation at some of the children's antics rings true too.
