Knucklehead
About This Book
Jon Scieszka is known for making kids laugh, and this book shows where that came from. He grew up as one of six brothers, and in a house that crowded, a quick joke was a survival skill. The book collects stories from his childhood, told with the same mischief that fills his other books. The pieces come from all over his early life: Catholic school, stacks of comic books, long summers at the lake with nothing to do but get into trouble, babysitting jobs that went wrong, favorite TV shows, and the jokes that flew around the family dinner table. Each one adds something to the picture of how a funny, restless kid turned into a writer. The book works as a memoir and as a scrapbook of family life, so it feels less like a tidy life story and more like flipping through someone's memories. Readers who like Scieszka's humor will enjoy seeing where it started, and anyone curious about how a creative mind gets made will find plenty here.
