i have seen a man wanting to weep

- Latest Review: "Adventures in space & fiction fantasy" by Robin G Howard
I also like how, with the way each book unfolds, Junie's behavior makes perfect sense to her, although seen from the outside (e.g. by the adults in her life), it would be both baffling and maddening. It's like the Ramona books in that way. I do recommend it for adults so that we can develop empathy with kids & develop a capacity to imagine that maybe the kid did mean well, despite all appearances. However, I know some adults who would hesitate to read Junie B. to a kid, since she gives them so many great ideas for chaotic and disrespectful behavior.
