Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus (Junie B. Jones, Bk 1)

Junie B. Jones is very funny and I found myself laughing frequently as I read it. However, I was uncomfortable reading it to my daughter because there were so many aspects that I do not want her imitating. The bad grammar was the least worrisome. Junie B. also has a pretty bad potty mouth (in my opinion anyway) and the kids are mean to each other regularly. They call each other names and say they hate each other. When I read it to my daughter, I corrected the grammar and censored the bad language but even then, Junie B. is no role model.
