Junie B. learns how not to be afraid of monsters,
while driving her family crazy, in Junie B. Jones Has a Monster
Under Her Bed. Your students can use their imaginations and
practice their colors by drawing Junie B.'s imaginary monster.
This topic is found in Junie B. Jones Has a Monster Under Her
Bed.
Paulie Allen Puffer told Junie there’s a
drooling monster under Junie B.'s bed. The monster creeps onto
her pillow at night and practices putting her head in its mouth.
Now poor Junie B. is having her worstest night ever! Thanks,
Paulie!

"I'm not sure how old I was when
I decided that there might be something creepy hiding
under my bed. I didn't know what it was, exactly. But
I was sure that if I got too close, some sort of hand
would reach out and grab my ankle. That's why I taught
myself to leap onto my bed from all corners of my room.
First, I would get a running start. Then I would spring
off the floor, fly through the air, and land safely in
the middle of my mattress. Of course, It's embarrassing
to even admit such a ridiculous thing now. I mean it.
I can't remember the last time I took a running leap like
that. No. Honest. I can't. (Okay, fine. It was Saturday
night. But if you tell anyone, I'll deny it completely.)"
