Junie B. Jones Books in Order
Every Junie B. Jones book in publication order — 32 in total, spanning 1992–2013.
Junie B. Jones is a first-grade force of nature — the funny, fearless, grammar-mangling kindergartner (and later first grader) who has been making brand-new readers laugh out loud since 1992. Barbara Park wrote her with such a pitch-perfect kid's-eye voice that the books practically read themselves aloud, which is why they're a rite of passage for so many early readers. Each one is a short, self-contained comic misadventure, so kids can dive in anywhere — but there's a clear starting point if you want to begin at the beginning.
