Ratings and reviews

The day of Field Day Junie B. Jones got to be captain of room Nine. I liked the book because at first room Nine was losing , but when the pull-up race began cry baby William stepped up and did 11 pull ups. That was more than everyone even Strong Frankie's 7. Junie B. Jones asked "how did you do that?" William told her in got a pull up machine for Christmas and he had been practicing."The book reminded me that practice makes perfect.

Dang this book of junie b jones was make me feel kinda happy :)

I love Junie B Jones!
