Heartwarming / Junie B. Jones

• In Junie B. Jones is Not a Crook, Grandpa Miller tells Junie B. a story that helps her deal with her current struggles with "finders keepers": at one point, he lost his wallet and someone drove by their house and put it in the mailbox. That might be sweet in and of itself, but what tops it off is what Grandpa Miller most appreciates about getting his wallet back — the stranger returned a photo of the first time he held his baby granddaughter.
• In Junie B. Jones and the Mushy, Gushy Valentime, Junie B. discovering her Secret Admirer.
• In Junie B. Jones is a Graduation Girl, the title character colors purple dots on her white graduation gown to disguise the grape juice driblets on it. Although her classmates initially make fun of her, when they see how upset she is, they decide to color spots on their own gowns so that she will not stand out. The best part? The kid who suggested it was Jim, with whom she has had a rocky relationship since the beginning of kindergarten.
• The end of Jingle Bells, Batman Smells (P.S., So Does May), in which Junie B. and May finally get along - at least until the next book.
• Junie B. Jones: Dumb Bunny: Junie B. wins the grab for the Golden Egg, the grand prize of Lucille's egg hunt. Sheldon, her classmate, has not gotten any, because the eggs have kept getting snatched. Junie B. slides her hand off the top of the egg and lets Sheldon's hand drop onto it. Granted, it was partially to "show" May (who had been snatching Sheldon's eggs), but at the end she confesses that even though she wishes she had the prize, looking at Sheldon's happy face makes her feel happy too.
• The ending of Toothless Wonder. After Junie B. finally gives her tooth to the Tooth Fairy, her baby brother Ollie starts getting in his first baby tooth. Junie B. concludes that the Tooth Fairy recycled her tooth and gave it to Ollie and when Ollie smiles at her, she says that she could come to like him after all.
• The ending of Cheater Pants is a delightful one. First Junie B and her friends make a wonderful cinquain poem together about Friendship. At the end, Mr. Scary writes a cinquain about Junie B, herself. In it, it reads all her best traits. What's the fifth stanza? "Trusted". It's his way of letting her know that after her previous acts of cheating off May's paper and Herb's spelling test^note the latter of which she confessed to herself, he's forgiven Junie B.
• At the end of Junie B. Jones Is (almost) A Flower Girl, Junie B and Bo (the flower girl who was chosen for the wedding) warm up to each other, and become friends. And when they decide to skip barefoot around the wedding reception- while throwing petals around the guests, said guests don't even get mad at them for doing so (considering that they're still young enough to get away with that behavior).
