  • Cross-Cast Role: The musical adaptation has Camille and Chenille played by crossdressing men.
  • Died During Production: The main series suffered a long scheduled slip after Dumb Bunny was released. However, supplementary books continued to be written and a new book, Turkeys We Have Loved and Eaten (and Other Thankful Stuff) was released in August 2012. Barbara Park passed away in November 2013 and it was revealed that she had undergone a long battle with ovarian cancer. Junie B. My Valentime was published posthumously.
  • Shrug of God: Junie B. always called her kindergarten teacher "Mrs". because she didn't know what her last name was. Barbara Park didn't either. When asked about Mrs.'s last name, Park responded "If I ever find out, you’ll be the first to know."
  • What Could Have Been: The First Grader series was going to end with a book called "A New Year! Memories of First Grade", but that never came to fruition due to Barbara Park's death from ovarian cancer.
