Her favorite things about it is Gooney Bird is funny and she likes it when Gooney Bird bosses the teacher around. Maggie’s review is: Gooney Bird Greene is a good, funny and cute book. The differences, though, are that Parks has developed Junie B’s character a lot more, as she has written over 30 Junie B books to Lowry’s three Gooney Bird books. Both characters are rather unique individuals, and express themselves very well. Both characters are funny, extroverts who are often the center of attention. Gooney Bird does work great for that, and she’s quite creative, as well. series, and we’ve been looking for a replacement series. What brought me to Gooney Bird Greene is the fact Maggie and I have read the entire Junie B. With every story, Gooney Bird reminds her audience that she only tells absolutely true stories. Gooney Bird entrances the whole class, including their teacher, with her stories about how she came from China on a flying carpet, or how her beloved cat, Catman, was consumed by a cow, or why she was late to school because she was directing an orchestra. “Well, first I was in jail, and then -” Gooney Bird interrupted herself. I got them at the palace,” Gooney Bird explained. “Well, actually, the prince didn’t give me the earrings. “I should have worn the dangling diamond earrings that I got from the prince,” she told the class.
Her red hair was pulled into two pigtails and held there with blue scrunchies… She felt her earlobes, which were small and pink and empty. Her T-shirt was decorated with polka dots. Gooney Bird adjusted the pink ballet tutu she was wearing over a pair of green stretch pants. As the class begins studying how to write a story, the whole class decides they want to hear Gooney Bird’s story. She asks for a desk in the middle of the room because she likes to be in the middle of all the action. She shows up wearing pajamas and cowboy boots, her red hair in pigtails, a lunch box and dictionary in her hands. Pidgeon’s second grade class in October… the class would never be the same.
Gooney Bird Greene -that’s Greene with a silent ‘e’ at the end- arrived at Watertower Elementary and in Mrs. Publisher: Yearling (Random House Children’s Books)
