Summary

Ship Ahoy! Room One is putting on a play. And guess what? It’s about explorers looking for the New World! And there are ships and sea captains and everything! Plus here’s the bestest news of all—Junie B. Jones thinks she might be the star of the whole entire production! Only, sailing the ocean blue is not as easy as it looks, apparently. ’Cause problems keep on happening. Like the actors keep catching the flu. And bossy May keeps trying to take over the show. Can this play be saved?

Home- To- School Connection

The kids in Junie B.’s Room One are being plagued by a contagious stomach virus. Ask your child if she has ever had a stomach virus? What were her symptoms? How long did the virus last? What medicines or remedies did she use to treat it? How are viruses passed from one person to another? What steps can we take to protect ourselves from particular viruses? Can we develop immunities, or natural defenses, against certain viruses?
