I liked Junie B. Jones and that Meanie Jim's Birthday because it was funny. It was funny when Junie said, "Yeah, but I don't even like that guy , so I don't even have to give him a present." Junie B. Jones reminds me of my little cousin. If she wants something her way, she'll do anything to get it that way - no matter what! I have read other books by Barbara Park and I liked all of them. The other books by Barbara Park are about Junie B. Jones and her adventures.
I recommend this book because it is realistic. I think this book is realistic because Junie B. acts just like a kindergartener would. For example, not wanting to take a bath, or buying a present that you want, and having to give it to a boy you don't even like. I think this book would appeal to people with a lot of tolorence , and who like realistic, humorous, truthful books.
