Junie B. Jones

Junie B.

Jones is the title character of a children's book series by Barbara Park, a precocious kindergartner (later first-grader) known for her grammatical errors, dramatic reactions, and unfiltered observations about life.

The books are written in her distinctive voice: My name is Junie B. Jones. The B stands for Beatrice. Except I don't like Beatrice. I just like B and that's all.
