Brief Summary/Book Usage: The children of Junie B. Jones's first grade class are having a holiday sing-a-long and she is dealing with getting along with her classmates. She is constantly arguing with May, a girl in her class that she calls a blabbermouth and who tells on her all the time. In the spirit of the holiday season, Junie B. Jones puts her differences aside and gets along with everyone to make a successful sing-a-long possible. I would use this book in my future classroom when talking about how we should all treat each other fairly and try to get along. It also would make a good read when the holidays are coming up in the school year.
