{"product_id":"junie-b-jones-and-the-stupid-smelly-bus","title":"Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the initial titles released under the First Stepping Stone imprint, chapter books aimed at newly independent readers and arranged in series, Park's ( Skinnybones ) jolly caper is the first installment to feature Junie B., a feisty almost-six-year-old who is not at all happy about riding the bus on the first day of kindergarten. In fact, she doesn't like a single thing about this vehicle: not the kids who get on it (\"Loud kids. And some of them were the kind who look like meanies\"); not the door (\"If it closes on you by accident, it will cut you in half, and you will make a squishy sound\"); and not the black smoke it emits (\"It's called bus breath, I think\"). Other equally candid, on-target perceptions fill Junie B.'s first-person narrative, which is peppered with reader-involving questions (\"Only guess what?\"; \" 'Cause guess why?\") that help to propel the story at a whiz-bang pace. When a classmate tells Junie B. that kids will pour chocolate milk on her head on the way home, the spunky child finds a way to avoid the dreaded bus. Park convinces beginning readers that Junie B. - and reading--are lots of fun. Ages 6-9.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47214543929522,"sku":"Childrens","price":2.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/7274\/0786\/files\/9780590639033.jpg?v=1774027965","url":"https:\/\/thebookstoreinpinecity.com\/products\/junie-b-jones-and-the-stupid-smelly-bus","provider":"The Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
