Junie B., First Grader: Dumb Bunny by Barbara ParkMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
My son James, who just started second grade, just finished reading this and said he liked it so I checked it out. The cover is adorable and I was kind of psyched. But all the characters are a bunch of mean conniving first-grade children. They make all the New York children I knew look like little angels.
There's also quite a bit of class warfare in the book, not that I actually object to that, but if you do, you might want to know.
And did they change the egg hunt prize that all the kids had been plotting for- a swimming playdate- at the last minute to flowers for their mother, and none of the kids cared? I was so confused.
