"Junie B. Jones, First Grader (at last!)" by Barbara Park

"It's Kindergarten Graduation!"

 

"Hurray, hurray for a brand-new school year! Only, for Junie B. Jones, things are not actually that pleasant. 'Cause first grade means having to get used to a whole new classroom. And a whole new teacher. And a whole new bunch of strange children. But here's the worst thing of all: when Junie B. tries to read words on the chalkboard, she can't seem to see what everyone else is seeing! Is it possible she might actually end up wearing .... glasses?"

This book is the eighteenth (#18) in the series written by Barbara Park and is a great chapter book for young readers. It is targeted at the abilities of children ages four to eight.
