Junie B. Jones is a Party Animal by Barbara Park

Junie B. Jones is a Party Animal is about learning to love your own family even though it might not look as good as someone else's. In this particular book of the series Junie B. loves hanging out with her friend Lucille because she is rich and her nanna is always doing fancy things and driving fancy cars. Junie B. really wants to spend the night at Lucille's rich nanna's house. When Lucille has a sleepover she thinks its going to be great. When she gets there she realizes everything is so expensive that you can not touch or play with anything in the house. At the end of the story she asks her mom to take her to her regular grandma's for blueberry pancakes. I think this is a good story to use when talking about different types of families. You could use this to illustrate that some families are rich and some are not but that doesn't matter because you should always appreciate your own family. You can also use this to teach children that just because something looks better doesn't mean that it is. You can also tie this in with manners because Junie B. is given many rules when she goes to the party; both from her parents and nanna.
