Publishers Weekly
Junie B. Jones fans can follow the feisty heroine's example with the vinyl-covered Top-Secret Personal Beeswax: A Journal by Junie B. (and Me!) by Barbara Park, illus. by Denise Brunkus. On the left, Junie B. fills out a page "All About Me," while on the right, the exact same lines (blank) allow readers to describe themselves. Junie B. also demonstrates how to draw a self-portrait, record fun facts about friends and create stories by filling in judiciously placed blanks. Brunkus's pleasingly familiar drawings will inspire confidence in novice journal-keepers. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewThis hilarious "top-secret personal" journal reveals the innermost thoughts of that irrepressible moppet, Junie B. Jones -- and provides a place for her enthusiastic fans to write about their own "personal beeswax."
Divided into lots of kid-friendly themes, the journal juxtaposes Junie B.’s entries with blank pages that junior journalers can fill out for themselves. So, as Junie reveals her nickname, hair color, and birthday in the section called "All About Me," readers are invited to do the same. Another section called "Feeling My Feelings!" provides space for readers to write about their emotional experiences -- from their most embarrassing or scary moments to things that make them sad or happy. In between, plenty of other topics are addressed, including school days, family life, favorite foods, and best knock-knock jokes. There are even spots for drawing or pasting pictures, plus two pages of fun stickers for decoration.
Loaded with ideas to help spark creative thinking, this colorful journal is almost as much fun as Junie B. herself. Matt Warner
