A short and quick read about the life of author Jon Scieszka. This funny autobiography is perfect for a reluctant reader who enjoyed Scieszka's other books. ( )

A trip down memory lane even for a girl! You absolutely have to laugh out loud. ( )

It figures that Jon Scieszka, with his finely tuned sense of what boys find funny, would write a very amusing autobiography about growing up with his five brothers. Recommended. ( )

Funny funny book -- a quick read that will delight young and old readers alike. Scieszka tells tales of growing up in Flint, Michigan with his 5 brothers, going to Catholic schools, family trips, adventures in the yard, burning things, and crossing swords (you'll have to read it to know what the last one means).

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 067001138X, Paperback)

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.
