Junie B. Jones is almost six years old. She licks her black shoes to make them shine and hates it when people call her Junie instead of Junie B. After bullies push her down on her first school bus ride, she's afraid to ride the bus home, so she doesn't. Instead, she hides in the supply closet in her classroom.Having the whole school to herself is fun at first- until she has an emergency.
