First it teaches lessons that young grade school children can relate to. Second it gets them excited about reading because these stories hold their attention well. If you don't like the way Junie speaks, then don't read it to your child like that. On the other hand you could also use it as an educational tool, i.e. "Junie is silly. Bestest isn't a word."<BR/>I think that most children are bright enough to realize that Junie doesn't always use proper grammar. It's just a way to make the story more fun. <BR/>Come on, children are exposed to their parents speaking constantly (and hopefully using proper grammar the majority of the time) and that has more of an influence on them than one book.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902585771297046270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-16031128212965960892009-04-02T09:43:00.000-07:002009-04-02T09:43:00.000-07:00I was a little unsure on the Junie series, I thoug...I was a little unsure on the Junie series, I thought they were cute, but I do kind of lean towards the "I am just getting my kid to talk right and now this is messing it all up!" side. But, On the other hand, I think it is important for kids to know that they are normal and that other kids go through the same things, and I think this series would be great for that.Kim R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07559723072849271422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-90947936863442013202009-04-02T07:26:00.000-07:002009-04-02T07:26:00.000-07:00I also like the Junie B.
