In The Yucky Blucky Fruitcake, there is something utterly hilarious about an exasperated, clown-hating Junie B. yelling, "Back off, clown!"
From That Meanie Jim's Birthday:
"Let's read a book, okay? What kind of story would you like to hear?" I thought and thought.
"I would like to hear a story about a little girl who doesn't get invited to a meanie boy's birthday. And so she sneaks to his house. And she lets a wild pony out of the barn. And then it stomples the boy into a flattie pancake. And all the children pour maple syrup on that guy. And they eat him for breakfast." Grandma Miller looked kind of sickish.
