    Junie B Jones has a pair of fuzzy mittens that are her absolute favorite mittens. One day her mittens goes missing and she cannot find them anywhere. Junie is very upset but finds a pretty pen on the ground. She decides to keep the pen because she found it but that does not mean she has stolen it, or does it? I would read this book to grades kinder through 3rd. I would use this book to teach my students to return items you have found to the lost and found and that just because someone took something of theirs doesn’t mean they should keep something they found that could possibly be someone else’s.

    Junie B. goes to school with her favorite mittens that her grandpa bought her "without any good reason." When somebody steals her favorite mittens, Junie B. get upset and think of the way to get that person. Only before she caught the thieve, she found a wonderful four color pen someone dropped by the water fountain.

    Wonderful series! But, this is one of my personal favorites. The story revolves around the saying "finders keepers, losers sweepers". When Junie loses her favorite mittens and they are not returned, when she finds something she does not know whether to keep them or not. She contemplates whether or not it is fair for her to keep something she found when someone else did the same thing. Helps tackle right versus wrong and what to do when you find something that is not yours. Great lesson for any child.

    I love Junie B. Jones's collection. Although I wish that the author would of used correct grammar in the short story so that beginner readers are not confused whats the right way to say things. But, I also believe that this short story could show young readers to be honest and turn things in that don't belong to you. Just like Junie B Jones did with the pen in the story. She didn't like it when she lost her mittens, but when she found them she realized how upset she was without them so she turned the pen in that someone lost. I also like how at the end of the book Barbara Park (the author) puts a little summary about why she wrote the book using her own experiences with loosing things.

    The reason why I gave this book a four because I enjoyed reading it. Junie B Jones. is giving some mittens by her grandfather and she decides to wear them to school to show them off. Her mittens end up getting stolen, so she goes to check the lost and found. Her mittens are not in there. She finds a pen that writes in many different colors and decides that she wants to keep it because she think it is okay to keep it. She later finds the person that stole her mittens and she realized that it wasnt nice to take things that didnt belong to her, so she went and put the pen in the lost and found. I think this book is a good book to teach children about being honest and about telling the truth and that stealing is not a good thing to do. This book can be used in the classroom by showing students why we have a lost and found at school and it also show and teach the class there are times when we are forgetful or careless and loose things, but the lost an found can help us recover items. It alos teaches children that the saying finders keepers, loosers weepers is not a rule. The children can play a game in the classroom were we loose items and found them and put them in the lost and found box in the class. You can also talk about were the lost and found box is located in the school.

    This is a really funny book. I always loved Junie B. Jones books. Although the language the books are not good models for children who are just starting out to read. The story is about how her grandfather gave her some mittens. It wasn't her birthday or Christmas or Valentines Day it was just because. She was so excited and wore them to school to show them off, but someone ended up taking them.

They didn't even put them in the Lost and Found at school. So when Junie B. finds a wonderful pen on the floor, she should be allowed to keep it, too. Right?

    I’ve always liked and enjoyed reading the Junie B Jones book series. I believe this is a great book and it teaches a wonderful lesson, but it has been brought to my attention that some parents and educators have issues with the way Junie talks using improper grammar. An example of this is when Junie B’s mittens are stolen she says, “Hey!! Somebody stoled my mittens!!” Parks is imitating the way kindergarteners actually speak, but is it teaching the reader to speak this way? On the other hand, Junie B Jones is such a lovable character. The way she struggled in this particular chapter book with an internal struggle whether to keep the pen she found or return it made her very relatable to readers. The central message in this book is to always do the right thing and never steal, as it will lead to positive outcomes. This was shown when Junie B goes to school to return the pen she found, she finds her precious mittens. She did the right thing by returning what was not rightfully hers, so now someone who lost that pen can go search for it in the lost and found. So despite the “kindergarten” talk, the message is something important that all kids need to learn.

    Junie B. Jones was one of my favorite series as a child. I have always enjoyed the characters. Junie B. Jones is so realistic and believable. I also think the stories are very realistic. In this story, someone takes Junie B.'s new mittens and I am sure that has actually happened to me. Someone has taken something special to me and I really how upset I was about it. Another reason for why I enjoyed this book is how engaging the writing was. Junie B. says, "When I first opened them, I got filled with glee. Glee is when you run. And jump. And skip. And laugh. And clap. And dance on top of the dining room table. Then your mother takes you down from the table. And she carries you to your room for a time-out." This quote shows how excited she is about these mittens and I think that rubs off onto the reader. The main idea in this story is two wrongs don't make a right. Even though someone took Junie B.'s mittens, it does not make it okay for her to take someone's pen.

    I really enjoyed the book “Junie B. Jones is Not a Crook” for many reasons. The first reason is because of how silly and relatable the main character, Junie B., is to the average child, girl or boy. For instance, she uses fun and familiar phrases like, “finders keepers, losers weepers” and Barbara Park gives her the voice of a young child. Children love when Junie B. misuses phrases, or takes things too literally. In addition, the plot line, finding something that you really like and deciding whether to keep it or turn it in, takes a serious moral dilemma and puts it in terms that kids would understand. Junie B., at first, thinks that she should be able to keep a pen that she found since she thinks someone took her favorite mittens. But then, after talking to her grandpa, her teacher, and the principal, she decides that that would not be fair to whoever lost the pen, because she knows how upset she was that her mittens were lost. This puts a very common, and fairly sophisticated dilemma, in terms that young children can understand and relate to. Barabara Park’s style of writing is so exciting and fun that students across a wide age range can enjoy her books. Reading this book reminded me of my first grade teacher who read Junie B. Jones to us every single day before we went home. I absolutely loved all of the books and owned almost every one out of the series! The main idea of the book is that two wrongs does not make a right, and you should not keep something that does not belong to you.

    Another fun lesson to learn from Junie B. This time she ends up showing us that finders keepers doesn't always apply.

    I think that this is a great edition to the Junie B. Jones collection. I find this story humorous, and I believe that it has a really great main message. The main message is that honesty and fairness is the best way to solve things. If you find something that is not yours you should return it. Also, it pays off to think how you would feel in someone else’s shoes. The way this story is written is really engaging for young readers. For example, it is written from Junie’s point of view. This makes it more relateable for young readers. Considering that children who read this story will probably have the same thought process as Junie, the story becomes overall more effective. I also like how the author addresses stereotypes in this story. For instance, when Junie decides that the crook probably has tattoos, when this is not the case at all. In the end, the crook really is a little girl just like her. This helps children to see that you should not go by stereotypes and also that someone might not have taken something that was not theirs to be cruel. This proves that a “crook” can really be anyone and that you should always be careful with your possessions.
