review 1: Park, B., & Brunkus, D. (2012). Junie B., first grader: Turkeys we have loved and eaten (and other thankful stuff). New York: Random House. It's Thanksgiving time, and Room One is spending the whole week celebrating. Mr. Scary has a very important task for the children, and that is to come up with a list of things they are thankful for! If their class gets picked for the best list, they get a prize. Except there's one thing, the prize is a pumpkin pie, and Junie B. Jones and the rest of her classmates HATE pumpkin pie, and it makes them want to vomit. Junie B. is also frustrated as always with May, and has to hear about her bragging. Not to mention Junie B. gets stuck wearing a hottish and sweatish pilgrim costume! This week is full of surprises and excitement and even som... moree fights. But in the end, all the students in Room One find out what they are thankful for.1. Write down a list of things that you are thankful for like the students in Room One had to do.2. What made Room One's list so special? Why did the end up winning first place?3. May and Junie B. end up realizing they have something in common. What was that thing, and do you think Junie B. and May could end up being friends?4. Pick out one thing from Room One's list of things they are thankful for and relate them to something you are thankful for.5. What do you think the main themes for this book were and why?
review 2: I was thinking of reading this aloud, but I didn't get around to it, so I just read it myself. My first Junie B. book in a long time.Junie B. (and the other kids) are very funny, as always. I liked the stories behind the things they are thankful for as they work on a class list of thankfulness, and the Philip Johnny Bob incidents. The list of things the kids are thankful for does feel like an accurate list of what first graders would be thankful for.I still might end up reading this aloud sometime.----------------------------------------------------Aug. 17th I started reading it aloud because everyone wanted to hear it. I guess I should have just read it aloud in the first place.Completed on Aug. 25th. Reading it aloud is even better than reading it myself, because of the audience reactions. The laughter of others at the right parts just makes the book funnier. less
