Junie B., First Grader: Turkeys We Have Loved and Eaten (And Other Thankful Stuff)

(4) 1-3 Stepping Stone series. Illustrated by Denise Brunkus. Boisterous first-grader Junie B. Jones and her over-the-top classmates exasperate their teacher making a Thankful List for a school-wide contest, but they achieve mutual appreciation during the class Thanksgiving feast. The hyper-enthusiastic narration stays on one note, but young readers will enjoy Junie B.'s growing awareness of her world. Brunkus's caricatured illustrations waver between cute and obnoxious.
