Gr. 2-3. Welcome back, Junie B. Jones--precocious heroine, a cross between Ramona and Eloise. Junie B.'s new news is that her mom's having a baby. To Junie's delight, what comes out is a baby monkey--at least that's what Junie assumes when her grandmother tells her, "Your brother is the cutest little monkey I've ever seen." The kids at school are duly impressed, all eager to be the first to see him. It takes a visit to the principal and a call to Grandma to straighten things out. Chapter book readers will be laughing at Junie's antics as well as her way with words. For instance, she calls her teacher, "Mrs.": "She has another name, too. But I just like Mrs. and that's all."
