The book is about Junie B. who wins games with her grandpa. When she got to school, her friends won all the games. She felt mad. Then her school had a carnival and she went. She practiced at home. She made every goal at her house until she got there. She went to the cake walk and she won a fruitcake because she was standing on the number that they called.
I like the book because it was really funny. My favorite part is that she called her grandpa Pinkey. I can connect with when my mom left me with my grandpa. I like the illustration because it matches the words. It shows where she is and I can see what she sees.
I will recommend this book to children ages 7 through 10. I think they might have a connection with when they were little.
