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

It’s Junie B.’s first day of kindergarten! But she’s afraid of the school bus. Can she overcome her fears, or will she be stuck at school forever?

Meet the teacher day? Check! Fun, new classroom? Check! Shiny new first day of school shoes? Check! Meet Junie B. Jones! The B stands for Beatrice. Except she doesn’t like Beatrice. She just likes B. and that’s all. Junie B. is almost six. Almost six is when you go to kindergarten. And TODAY is Junie B.’s first day of school! Only guess what? Junie B. does NOT want to ride the school bus home. It smells on the bus. Plus also, what if there are meanies on the bus who might pour chocolate milk on your head?! In fact, what if Junie B.’s so scared of the bus that when it’s time to go home…she doesn’t?!

After more than thirty years as a beloved favorite, the world’s funniest kindergartner is coming to graphic novels with full-color adaptations that bring Junie B. to life for a new generation of readers and give kids even more ways to laugh—and read—with Junie B. Jones!
