Dear First Grade Journal, This is the bestest musical (that is a play all jumbled together with singing and dancing, I believe) ever, I tell you! It's got loads of funny songs, and it's based on a bunch of books this lady, Barbara Park, wrote about me and the things I do in first grade. I think I might like first grade after all! Love, (but not the mushy kind) Junie B.
