Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus by Barbara Park - Series Study

Junie B. Jones is getting ready to head into kindergarten, when her and her mother go and visit her teacher, Mrs., at school. This is where Junie B. is told she gets to ride the yellow bus to school, but Junie B. doesn't want to ride the bus to school; she gets a sickish feeling in her stomach. On the first day of school, Junie B. is hesitant to get on the bus, but finally does. She wants to sit by this girl, but she is saving it for her best friend. The next stop, that Jim gets on, but he doesn't want to sit by her. Soon, the bus starts to smell and Junie B. is really hot in her pink sweater. Finally, when Junie B. thought she would never get off the bus, she arrived at school. But, everyone was trying to get off of the bus and she fell and someone stepped on her skirt, she wasn't happy. Towards the end of the day, Mrs. told the bus riders to get in line to go to the bus, but Junie B. wasn't going on that bus. She was the last in line (and no one watched the person last in line), so she hid. The next few chapters were hilarious; you really never know what Junie B. is going to do!
