From Booklist

Gr. 2^-4. Junie B. Jones is back, as intense, vulnerable, and funny as ever, in this chapter book that's part of the First Stepping Stone Book series. Always, she wants to be the "bestest winner of anyone," but in her school carnival, she loses and loses, and when the kids laugh (especially that boy Jim that she HATES), it ruins her "self-steam." The innocent first-person narrative of this kindergarten kid will make lower-school readers laugh out loud at her mispronunciations as they recognize their own confusion and failure, then and now.
