“Hilarious. Barbara Park makes reading fun.” —Dav Pilkey, author of Dog Man

Get ready to go back to school with Junie B. Jones! The World’s Funniest Kindergartener is now officially a first grader! The #1 New York Times bestselling chapter book series has been keeping kids laughing—and reading—for more than twenty-five years. Over 65 million copies sold!

 
Hurray, hurray for a brand-new school year! Being in first grade means having to get used to a whole new classroom. And a whole new teacher. And a whole new bunch of strange children. But here’s the worst thing of all: When Junie B. tries to read words on the chalkboard, she can’t seem to see what everyone else is seeing! Is it possible she might actually end up wearing glasses?
