About this book

Why does Junie keep getting that horrible sickish feeling in her tummy? Why does she feel like P.U.? Junie has a Big Problem: she doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up. And worse yet, she can't seem to keep fibs from coming out of her mouth. When Teacher announces Job Day, all the kids in 9B are talking about what they want to be. Junie B. "accidently" says she will be someone who paints like an artist, unlocks stuff like a guard, and saves people from danger. How will Junie ever find a real job to match her boasts? Barbara Park has received many awards for her hilarious children's books, including seven children's choice awards and four Parents' Choice awards. Christina Moore's spirited narration of the Junie B. Jones series brings the kindergartner with a spunky attitude and creative way of putting things fully to life.
