Junie B. Jones and Her Big Fat Mouth

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with social boundaries, bragging, or that all-too-common 'foot in mouth' syndrome. It is an ideal resource for the child who speaks before they think and then faces the stinging realization of their own mistake. The story follows kindergarten student Junie B. Jones as she accidentally earns a trip to the principal's office and later brags herself into a corner about her future career during Job Day. Through Junie B.'s signature humorous and unfiltered voice, the book explores themes of shame, social pressure, and honesty. It is perfectly suited for children ages 6 to 9 who are navigating the complex social hierarchies of early elementary school and learning that sometimes, less is more. Parents will find it a gentle, funny way to normalize the embarrassment of social blunders while modeling how to make things right.
