Not Appropriate For Young Children
I bought these because I remember enjoying them as a kid but my perspective has changed now that I’m reading them to my 6 year old. Junie B Jones is annoying, whiney, and mean! She calls kids names and uses words I don’t want my 6 year old using like stupid, shut up, and dumb. To top it all of there’s an entire page in the third book that talks about how Mickey Mouse isn’t real, he’s just a guy in a suit! What?!?! These books say they are for 6-9 year olds, ages that can and do still believe! Childhood innocence and the magic of things like Disney only lasts a short period of time. I don’t need sub-par books ruining the magic for my kid too soon.
