Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus

Summary

Junie B. Jones is almost six years old. She licks her black shoes to make them shine and hates it when people call her Junie instead of Junie B. After bullies push her down on her first school bus ride, she's afraid to ride the bus home, so she doesn't. Instead, she hides in the supply closet in her classroom. Having the whole school to herself is fun at first-until she has an emergency. Young listeners will revel in the antics of this very precocious, outspoken, and endearing five-year-old. This award-winning author tackles a young child's first day-of-school fears with a humor and insight that will tickle the funny bones of any listener. Christina Moore's spirited narration captures all the exuberant and innocent irreverence that make little Junie B. a delight to the ears.
