It's called a nursery. Except I don't know why. Because a baby isn't a nurse, of course.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe baby's room used to be the guest room. That's where all our guests used to sleep. Only we never had much guests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd so now if we get some, they'll have to sleep on a table or something.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe baby's room has new stuff in it. That's because Mother and Daddy went shopping at the new baby stuff store.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey bought a new baby dresser with green and yellow knobs on it. And a new baby lamp with a giraffe on the lamp shade. And also, a new rocking chair for when the baby cries and you can't shut it up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd there's a new baby crib, too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA crib is a bed with bars on the side of it. It's kind of like a cage at the zoo. Except with a crib, you can put your hand through the bars. And the baby won't pull you in and kill you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd guess what else is in the nursery? Wallpaper, that's what! The jungle kind. With pictures of elephants, and lions, and a big fat hippo-pot-of-something.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd there's monkeys, too! Which are my most favorite jungle guys in the whole world!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMother and Daddy pasted on the wallpaper together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMe and my dog Tickle were watching them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This wallpaper looks very cute in here,\" I told them. \"I would like some of it in my room, too, I think. Okay?\" I said. \"Can I? Can I?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"We'll see,\" said Daddy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe'll see\u003c\/i\u003e is another word for no.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yeah, only that's not fair,\" I said. \"'Cause the baby gets all new junk and I have all old junk.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Poor Junie B,\" said Mother very teasing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen she bended down and tried to hug me. Only she couldn't do it very good. Because of her big fat stomach -- which is where the stupid baby is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I don't think I'm going to like this dumb baby,\" I said.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMother stopped hugging me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Don't say that, Junie B. Of course you will,\" she said.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Of course I won't,\" I talked back. \"Because it won't even let me hug you very good. And anyway, I don't even know its stupid dumb name.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen Mother sat down in the new rocking chair. And she tried to put me on her lap. Only I wouldn't fit. So she just holded my hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"That's because Daddy and I haven't picked a name for the baby yet,\" she explained. \"We want a name that's a little bit different. You know, something cute like Junie B. Jones. A name that people will remember.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd so I thought and thought very hard. And then I clapped my hands together real loud.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Hey! I know one!\" I said very excited. \"It's the cafeteria lady at my school. And her name is Mrs. Gutzman!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMother frowned a little bit. And so maybe she didn't hear me, I think.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"MRS. GUTZMAN!\" I hollered. \"That's a cute name, don't you think? And I remembered it, too! Even after I only heard it one time, Mrs. Gutzman sticked right in my head!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMother took a big breath. \"Yes, honey. But I'm not sure that Mrs. Gutzman is a good name for a tiny baby.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd so then I scrunched my face up. And I thought and thought all over again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"How 'bout Teeny?\" I said. \"Teeny would be good.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMother smiled. \"Well, Teeny might be cute while the baby was little. But what would we call him when he grows up?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Big Teeny!\" I called out very happy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen Mother said, \"We'll see.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhich means no Big Teeny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter that I didn't feel so happy anymore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"When's this dumb bunny baby getting here anyway?\" I said.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMother frowned again. \"The baby is not a dumb bunny, Junie B.,\" she said. \"And it will be here very soon. So I think you'd better start getting used to the idea.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen her and Daddy began pasting wallpaper again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd so I opened the new baby dresser with the green and yellow knobs. And I looked at the new baby clothes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe baby pajamas were very weensy. And the baby socks wouldn't even fit on my big piggie toe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I'm going to be the boss of this baby,\" I said to Tickle. \"'Cause I'm the biggest, that's why.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDaddy snapped his fingers at me. \"That's enough of that kind of talk, missy,\" he said.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMissy's my name when I'm in trouble.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter that, him and Mother went to the kitchen to get some more paste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd so I looked down the hall to make sure he was gone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yeah, only I'm still gonna be the boss of it,\" I whispered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHa ha. So there.","brand":"Random House Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46302382555365,"sku":"NP9780679838869","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780679838869.jpg?v=1767730544","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/junie-b-jones-2-junie-b-jones-and-a-little-monkey-business-isbn-9780679838869","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
