Bookroo's summary
Dive into the chaotic childhood of Jon, one of six brothers, where Catholic school, comic books, and lakeside summers fuel his comedic genius. From babysitting blunders to dinner table jokes, each memory offers a glimpse into the making of a creative mind. What mischief will unfold next in this laugh-out-loud memoir?
From the publisher
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. Watch a QuickTime trailer for this book.
