How did Jon Scieszka get so funny, anyway? Growing up as one of six brothers was a good start, but that was just the beginning. Throw in Catholic school, lots of comic books, lazy summers at the lake with time to kill, babysitting misadventures, TV shows, jokes told at family dinner, and the result is Knucklehead. Part memoir, part scrapbook, this hilarious trip down memory lane provides a unique glimpse into the formation of a creative mind and a free spirit.

I love this books and so did all the grades I read it too, 2nd-5th. It's a laugh out loud no holding back. Girls and boys loved when I read it and couldn't wait until I saw them the following week to hear more!

Great book with each chapter containing a different event that happened in the author's life. So funny!

These memoirs are so funny! :)
