8464 95edaa72-f42e-4ffc-82bd-02c7a70abde6 Junie B. Jones Has a Peep in Her Pocket Barbara Park Denise Brunkus calibre (0.8.24) [http://calibre-ebook.com] 2000-05-23T07:32:18+00:00 <h3>Amazon.com Review</h3><p>Kindergarten is just about to let out for the summer, and room 9 is going on a field trip to a farm. All the children squeal with joy--all but Junie B. Jones. </p><blockquote><p>'Cause guess what? Farms are not my favorites. </p></blockquote><p>Junie B. Jones, hilarious heroine of more than a dozen well-loved books, is mortally afraid of ponies. An imprudent babysitter once allowed her to watch a cable TV show called <em>When Ponies Attack</em>, so a trip to a farm seems like the ultimate in reckless endangerment. Never mind the roosters, which, according to her classmate, Meanie Jim, can peck your head to a nub. It takes some pretty fast talking by Junie's parents, teacher, and the farmer himself to get Junie to participate in the field trip, where she has a surprisingly good time. Until she bonds with Peep, a fluffy little chick, only to discover, to her horror, that Peep's destiny is to become a rooster. </p><p>Award-winning author Barbara Park has joined with illustrator Denise Brunkus to create a charmingly outrageous character with a precocious yet childish voice that readers will never forget: "After that my heart got very poundy inside. 'Cause I heard the sound of footprints, that's why." Brunkus's comical drawings of Junie and her friends are the "bestest" ever. Don't miss any of the laugh-out-loud titles in the Junie B. Jones series.
