Junie B. Jones and Some Sneaky Peeky Spying

Title: Junie B. Jones and Some Sneaky Peeky Spying
Author: Barbara Park
Illustrator: Denise Brunkus
Publisher: Random House Children's Books http://www.randomhouse.com/kids/index.pperl
Publication Date: 1994
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Audience: Gr. 3-5
Overview: As can be expected with all Junie B. Jones books, Sneaky Peeky Spying was an adorable read that had me laughing out loud and missing kindergarten! In this particular book, Junie catches her teacher, Mrs., eating a grape in the grocery store before she buys them. She knows that this is considered stealing because she got in trouble one time for eating something in the store without paying for it. She is then faced with the challenge of holding this horrible secret inside!
Activity: A fun activity to go along with this book would be a simple writing activity. After reading the book to the class, if you are having the class keep journals, or even on a piece of loose leaf, have the students write an entry about who they would like to spy on in this world and why. Students can share their answers with the class, or simply hand them in.
