Hilarious 1st person narrative. Junie B. is a HOOT!

The story is of her first day at school and her traumatic bus ride. She really, REALLY didn't want to ride home on it, so she hid in the classroom supply closet. She nammped. She investigated the school. But then she had to go to the bathroom and all the bathroom doors were locked. It was an emergency - and she'd been taught what to do.....call 911!
