Bill Roper's Journal

Last year, we read all of the Junie B. Jones books for Katie and Julie. I noticed that they had a "Stupid Smelly Bus Tour", but it was coming nowhere near Chicago, although it had been here in 2012. Recently, I got an e-mail that let me know that the tour was returning to the area, so I piled the girls in the car and we drove up to Vernon Hills, where we saw an entirely manic and quite funny half-hour show with Junie B. Jones and her stupid, smelly bus driver, Mr. Woo. (That is to say that the bus is stupid and smelly. Mr. Woo was quite nicely groomed and seemed intelligent enough, if a bit rattled by Junie. But then, who wouldn't be? :) )
