Junie B. Jones Is a Beauty Shop Guy

Reach for this book when your child's curiosity has led to a messy mistake or a 'creative' disaster that requires an apology. It is a perfect choice for navigating the aftermath of impulsive decisions and the embarrassment that follows getting carried away with a big idea. The story follows the spunky and relatable Junie B. Jones as she visits a beauty shop and decides she is ready to be a professional stylist, practicing her new skills on her slippers, her dog, and eventually her own hair with predictably hilarious and slightly cringeworthy results. Through Junie's voice, the book explores themes of creative expression, the weight of shame, and the importance of honesty when things go wrong. It is ideally suited for children ages 5 to 9 who are beginning to navigate the boundaries between imaginative play and real world consequences. Parents will find it a lighthearted way to discuss why some tools are for grown-ups and how to handle the 'big feelings' that come with making a visible mistake.
