Jon Scieszka

The National Ambassador for Children's Literature and author of The Stinky Cheese Man, The True Story of the Three Little Pigs and more discusses his latest book of hilarities, Knucklehead: Tall Tales and Almost True Stories of Growing Up Scieszka. How did Jon Scieszka get so funny, anyway? Growing up ... (more)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 free spirit.

SEATING begins one hour before the event. Lettered tickets (free with book purchase) will be called alphabetically to fill seats and will also be used to form the booksigning line. Seating opens to the general public fifteen minutes before the event, so please arrive early, as space is limited.

As part of our 35th Anniversary Celebration, Jon Scieszka, the 1st National Ambassador for Children’s Literature, will speak and sign his book, KNUCKLEHEAD.
