Review by Booklist Review

Gr. 2-4. Ecstatic when her kindergarten teacher announces Pet Day, Junie plunges into despair when she learns that big animals such as Junie's dog will not be allowed in school, only their pictures. In her search for a new pet, Junie turns down the loan of her grandmother's parrot, finds her mother uncooperative when she chooses a freshly caught (but definitely dead) fish, and decides on an earthworm, which unfortunately escapes. As a last ditch solution, Junie takes a fish stick to class; and beams with pride when it wins the ribbon for "Most Well-Behaved Pet." Readers who are getting into chapter books will find plenty to enjoy here, from Junie's antics to her fresh use of language to the expressive line drawings. A funny entry in a popular series.
