Junie B. Jones is a fictional character in a children's series written by Barbara Park and illustrated by Denise Brunkus. Junie B. Jones is the main character in the comical series. Junie B. Jones is first introduced as a kindergartner and is currently a first grader. Junie B. Jones exemplifies many of the comical aspects of childhood: fear of monsters, grammatical errors, dealing with siblings, the first day of school and innocent crushes.

Characters

Junie Beatrice Jones or "Junie B." as she is called for short, is an innocent, spirited five- to six-year-old American girl, and is the series' main protagonist. The series is told in first person by Junie B. in every book. Junie B. loves ice cream, and her mother made it a rule for Junie not to yell at her for ice cream while at the supermarket. She fears clowns, roosters and ponies, because she says clowns "are not normal people", a rooster might "peck her head into a nub" and a pony might "stomple" her into the ground, which she saw on a fictional TV show called When Ponies Attack. She also occasionally fears Old MacDonald's Farm, rabbits and burros.

While Junie B. is in kindergarten, she is in room 9, and has a teacher to whom she refers only as "Mrs.", because Junie B. forgot her teacher's last name.

As a first grade student, Junie B. is very inquisitive, as she likes to ask her teacher, "Mr. Scary" (as all the children in her class call him), who "doesn't even scare her hardly", a lot of questions about anything and everything. She fears challenges at times but mostly meets them successfully. Her room's name is Room One.

Junie B.'s family consists of her parents, baby brother Ollie, and grandparents. Her father's name is revealed to be "Robert" or "Robert Jones" in Junie B. Jones and the Yucky Blucky Fruitcake and Junie B. Jones Is a Beauty Shop Guy. Her baby brother is named Ollie, and he was born in Junie B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business. Junie B.'s grandparents are Frank and Helen Miller (who babysit Junie B. and Ollie, because both Junie B.'s parents go to work), and she also has a pet dog named Tickle. She also has an array of stuffed animals who speak through her: an elephant named Phillip Johnny Bob, a teddy bear named Teddy, and the Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls named Ruth and Larry, and also in Junie B., First Grader: Aloha-ha-ha she has a Barbie doll named "Delores", respectively. She loves fun.

Junie B.'s best friends in kindergarten are Lucille, an upper-class girl who is accustomed to being pampered by her nanna/grandmother, and Grace (whom Junie B. refers to as "that Grace"), an athletic, African-American girl. Junie B. occasionally hates Lucille in Junie B. Jones and Her Big Fat Mouth. Junie B. has a close relationship with the "Boss of the School," an unnamed principal (who was mentioned in Junie B., First Grader: Jingle Bells, Batman Smells (P.S. So Does May)), as she has been sent to him on numerous occasions. She also has made friends with a janitor named Gus Vallony (originally introduced as the "man with the can" in Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus and an unnamed janitor, referred to in the last chapter of Junie B. Jones and Her Big Fat Mouth who also saves her from eating a lifesaver candy off the ground. The janitor appeared once again in Junie B., First Grader: Shipwrecked).

Junie B.'s cafeteria lunch lady is Mrs. Gutzman, who is introduced in Junie B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business. Mrs. Gutzman appeared once again in Junie B., First Grader: Boss of Lunch. Junie B.'s classmates in kindergarten are Charlotte, Paulie Allen Puffer, Jamel Hall, Ham, crybaby William (whom Junie B. originally wanted to beat up), Roger, Lilly, Clifton, Rose, Vincent, Donald (not to be confused with a character from the 26th book), Lynnie, and Ricardo (Junie B.'s "boyfriend"). The person Junie B. dislikes the most is "that meanie Jim," the energetic class bully, whom she befriended on Valentine's Day when they were in kindergarten. They became good friends for a short while, until they both graduated from kindergarten and went their separate ways. The people from Room Eight Junie B. knows include handsome Warren (Lucille's ex-boyfriend), and new Thelma (a naïve girl whom Junie B.'s boyfriend Ricardo always chases).

In first grade her friends include Herbert (who rides on the bus with Junie B.), Lennie (who has spikey hair), José (who speaks English and Spanish), Sheldon Potts and Shirley. Lucille is in Junie B.'s class, but she has made new friends with two African-American twins Camille and Chenille. Roger is also in Junie B.'s same class. Junie B.'s new nemesis is May (she calls her Tattletale May), an energetic, rambunctious, antagonistic, megalomaniacal girl who often refers to her as "Junie Jones". May occasionally calls Junie B. by her name at the end of Junie B., First Grader: Jingle Bells, Batman Smells (P.S. So Does May). Junie B.'s nurse is Mrs. Weller, who is originally introduced in Junie B.'s kindergarten adventures as an unnamed nurse. In Junie B., First Grader: Dumb Bunny, Sheldon got a crush on Lucille. Other characters are mentioned throughout the series.

Controversy among parents

Junie B.'s speech has raised controversy among parents. Like many children, Junie B. mispronounces words (e.g. "pasketti" instead of "spaghetti", “bestest” instead of “best”, "valentime" instead of "valentine", “splode” instead of “explode”, “Little Miss Muppet Who Sat on her Trumpet” instead of “Little Miss Muffet Who Sat on her Tuffet”, "The Wizard of Odds" instead of The Wizard of Oz, “Cattle Act” instead of “Cadillac” and other mispronounced phrases) and conjugates words incorrectly (e.g. “stoled” instead of "stole", “stucked” instead of "stuck", “throwed” instead of "threw", “runned” instead of "ran").

Junie B. also uses shortened words such as "'magination" (Imagination), "Greedients" (Ingredients), "Pology" (Apology), "Structions" (Instructions), "Nouncement" (Announcement), "Mergency" (Emergency), "Rolled" (Enrolled), "Freshments" (Refreshments), "Cause" (Because), "Portant" (Important), "Tract" (Attract), "Tention" (Attention), "Bout" (About) & "Fridgerator" (Refrigerator)

She also sometimes leaves out the "g" at the end of words (e.g. "shinin'" instead of “shining”, "goin" instead of "going") and she inserts a “y” or “ie” into many words, such as “baldie” (bald), “meanie” (mean), and “beanies” (beans). Junie B. also makes up terms like “zooming” for running and “springing” for jumping.

Some parents avoid these books because they would rather not expose their children to bad English while others view it as an opportunity to teach proper grammar. Parents also censor the books in their homes because of Junie B.'s behavior: talking back to teachers and being childishly rude. Overall, however, the parental response is positive, and the Junie B. Jones books continue to be bestsellers.
