junie B. And Her Family Are Going On A Vacation To Hawaii! And Ha! Mr. Scary Is Giving Junie A Real, Actual Camera To Keep A Photo Journal Of Her Trip! But Taking Good Vacation Pictures Is Not Always Easy. Cause What If Your Airplane Is Full Of Grouchy Ladies? And What If There Is An Unfortunate Inner Tube Incident At The Swimming Pool? (and, Oh My! Let S Not Even Mention What Happens If A Tropical Bird Gets Tangled In Your Hair!) Will Junie B. S Vacation End Up Picture Perfect? Or Will Her Trip To Hawaii Be Aloha-horrible?

the Unique And Adorable Voice Of Junie B. Delights Her Audience As She Bubbles Over With Excitement About Going On A Vacation. She Finds Herself In Quite The Pickle When Her Teacher Asks Her To Keep A Picture Journal Of Her Trip To Hawaii. It Seems Simple To Junie B. She Clicks Off Pictures And Puts Them In The Picture Diary. Well, Mr. Scary Makes It A Little Complicated When He Expects Her To Write Simple Captions Under The Pictures. Junie B. Can Handle That Until Her Adventure In Hawaii Starts With Her Being Stuck Between Two Grouchy Ladies On The Airplane. It Has To Get Better, But It Doesn’t. One Picture After Another And Junie B. Still Is Not Having Her Dream Vacation, Until Her New Friend, Don, Takes Her Family Into The Wilds Of Hawaii Where Junie B. Becomes Everyone’s Hero. Again Barbara Park Takes Her Wonderful Junie B. Character And Shows Her Young Readers How To Make A Vacation Fun And Educational. Junie B. May Be Creating Her Own Travel Guides Before Long. As An Educator, I Wonder If The Voice Of Junie B. Is More Of A Misplaced Kindergartner Then An Actual 1st Grader. I Love Junie B., But She Needs To Mature A Little More To Keep Up With Her Readers. My Trip To Hawaii Through Junie B’s Eyes Still Makes Me Smile And I Can’t Wait To Have A Student Read Her Next Adventure To Me. Aloha! 2006, Random House, And Ages 5 To 7.
