Who is Junie B. Jones?

Smothers Elementary has a great school staff and the kids are eager to learn. Reading is fundamental, Smother kids get to read and get medallions when they achieve their one hundred steps reading level.
My daughter loves to read she has received many reading medallions for achieving the reading tasks reading different books. The children seems to love this challenge. My dauhgter and I went to Borders Book store and went to the kids section and she found two books on Junie B. Jones, she was so excited and I purchase the books and she came on and read one of the book series. I did not know who was Junie B. Jones and why she was so excited, she stated she has siblings and they explore. I admire Smothers Elementary administration for striving children to read and get in the habit of reading and the importance of continuing to read.
