Horn Book Review
Kindergarten Room Nine faces off against Room Eight on Field Day, with Junie B. Jones as its cutesy-obnoxious team captain. The condescending kindergarten-speak humor (Oh no! My shoe flied right off my foot!) quickly becomes grating; the author throws in frequent winks over her protagonist's head. Caricature pencil sketches illustrate each chapter in this popular series.
