Hey everyone! 

Today I finished Junie b. Jones Cheater Pants by Barbara Park. This is my first Junie b. Jones book of my 20 book challenge! Reading Cheater Pants was a fun book to ease the stress of this week. I love these books because they are easy reads and cute for young girls.

Cheater Pants gets its name because Junie forgets to complete her homework assignment over the weekend and decides to copy off of her friends homework that sits beside her while she was away from her desk. Julie did not both reading the directions on her homework and all she was suppose to do was write about what she did over the weekend. When she was asked to read her homework in front of the class, her teacher noticed that her response was the same response as her friend, May. Julie knew right away that she was in big trouble. Her teacher called her out to the hallway to discuss the issue and Junie was quick to blame it on May for leaving her homework laying out on her desk in the first place. Her teacher became very upset with her and proceeded to take away her recess privileges. During her recess, she had to talk to her teacher for the second time to make sure she learned her lesson. She clearly did not learn her lesson because she was snippy with her teacher, so he decided to send a note home for her parents to see what she did. This did not make her very happy and she was so scared to go home and show her parents the note from her teacher.

Her parents had a conversation with her about cheating. All and all, there are some really great lessons for kids to learn throughout this book and I think that is the main idea. The teacher did a good job with the disciple and treated Junie as if she was an adult. I like how the teacher handled the situation minus taking away recess time because I am totally against that! ;) However, I still think that this is a wonderful read for young students because it is clear and fun. I think this book will scare kids right out of cheating!
