Here's an interesting New York Times article about parental reaction to the Junie B. Jones books. I grabbed the link from Roger Sutton, whose Read Roger blog is one of the highlights of the children's blogosphere.
Personally, I think Junie B. is hilarious, but I am a proponent of the subversive in children's lit. If you're looking for an alternative, though, try the Andy Shane books, whose protagonist is a nice, quiet foil for the overbearing June B.
