Jones Is Captain Field Day Barbara Park Denise Brunkus calibre (0.8.24) [http://calibre-ebook.com] 2001-01-02T05:55:31+00:00 <h3>Amazon.com Review</h3><p>Junie B. Jones's kindergarten teacher has some strange ideas about field day: "Field Day is a day to run around in the fresh air and enjoy the sunshine. We came out here to have fun and get some exercise. And we're not going to care one little bit about who wins or who loses." Only what's so fun about losing? That's what Junie B. wants to know. In the great contest between room 8 and room 9, somehow, room 8 keeps winning all the events. As Captain Field Day of room 9, Junie B. is feeling her superpowers--and her good sportsmanship--slipping away. Can <em>anyone</em> save the day?</p><p>For beginning chapter-book readers, Junie B. Jones <em>always</em> saves the day. As in <strong>, </strong>, and the many other titles in Barbara Park's series, Junie B.'s inimitable style wins her friends and fans everywhere. Denise Brunkus's comical, expressive drawings capture all the joys and foibles of kindergarten life. With occasional "big" words (like <em>slumped</em>, <em>sarcastic</em>, and <em>apparently</em>) and Junie B.'s grammatical curiosities, this witty book works best as a classroom read-aloud. (Ages 5 to 8) <em>--Emilie Coulter</em></p><h3>Product Description</h3><p>Afternoon kindergarten is having a field day, and Junie B. Jones is team captain! Only, here's the problem. Room Eight keeps on winning too many events. And so how will Room Nine ever become the kindergarten champions? As Captain Field Day, will Junie B. find a way to lead her team to victory? Or will it be up to someone else to save the day? </p> Random House, Inc. 9780375802911 eng Children's Books.3-5
