Brief summary of how to use with students: Junie B. is the funniest and this is a great example of how younger students may deal with cheating. She says she only "borrowed" May's homework assignment and Herb "gave" her an answer for a test - but she learns that those aren't the right words. She is cheating and has to come to terms with that. Great ending though.
