Gr. 1^-2, younger for reading aloud. Junie B. Jones falls in love with the new boy in her kindergarten class in the latest First Stepping Stone Book about the eager pre-schooler and her friends. As with Lois Lowry's See You Around, Sam (1996), older kids will laugh at Junie's klutzy innocence, even as they recognize their own vulnerability in the classroom and the school yard. Brunkus' line drawings pick up the farce of Junie's desperate efforts in the world of romance and rivalry. Hazel Rochman
