Book #14 in the Junie B. Jones series is sure to bring laughs and fun to any reader.Just as the rest of the series, this story is written as a narrative by Junie B. She uses language that younger elementary children will identify with. Some do not like these book, because of Junie's behavior. I believe these are great books to use with younger kids because they can relate. This book can help teach kindness and fairness, examples of healthy friendship, and teasing. Junie is very upset when the "Valentimes" are passed out and she was short one. Her sadness soon ended when she received a "mushy, gushy valentime" from a secret admirer. Who could be Junie B. Jones' secret "Valentime" admirer? Grab a copy and find out!
