Junie B Jones First Grader (at last!) First Ever Musical Edition Review

I got this book as an audiobook, which is exciting for me because reading is so important and finding ones that my kids will enjoy is important to me. The book was written by Barbara Park and narrated by Lana Quintal. The book is written with cute language that you could expect a typical 6 year-old to use. I guess it could potentially teach your children the wrong way to speak, but that isn't an issue for me. The narrator has the cutest, perfect voice for this book. She did a fantastic job. The book is about Junie B entering the first grade and her struggles with peers, her teacher and finding out she needs glasses.  The first disc is the book itself and the second is 15 fun songs about the book. The songs weren't as much fun for me as listening to the book itself. They aren't bad, I just really liked the book. I would definitely recommend this book for long trips or even while you color and play. I'm definitely going to check out more Junie B books. *UPDATE* My kids

First, this is not the type of book I usually go for. I am not artistic in the least bit. I am crafty, but seeing things in my head and getting them to come out on paper or otherwise has always been a challenge for me. Needless to say, I wasn't very hopeful, but it looked like so much fun, how could I resist? It's a very nice book. With good instructions, and great illustrations. I was surprised to find that it is not a small book. It's a nice big book so you can see what it is they want you to do. The written instructions were just okay, but if you just copy what the illustrations are telling you to do, even an art wannabe like me can make a pretty cool picture! I even bought a special little book to draw my fairies in. I think this is just as fun and relaxing as coloring, but you get to create something. Something of your own! So if you want to create something that's easy and fun, I definitely recommend this book. *I got this book for free in exchange for my re
