Junie B. Jones fans can follow the feisty heroine's example with the vinyl-covered Top-Secret Personal Beeswax: A Journal by Junie B. (and Me!) by Barbara Park, illus. by Denise Brunkus. On the left, Junie B. fills out a page ""All About Me,"" while on the right, the exact same lines (blank) allow readers to describe themselves. Junie B. also demonstrates how to draw a self-portrait, record fun facts about friends and create stories by filling in judiciously placed blanks. Brunkus's pleasingly familiar drawings will inspire confidence in novice journal-keepers.
