Kucklehead, by Jon Scieszka

You probably grew up listening to stories by Jon Scieszka - The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, The Stinky Cheese Man, etc. Now hear stories about how he grew up - or almost DIDN'T grow up - as the second oldest of six brothers - nearly blowing up their basement, risking their lives when forced to wear the dreaded bunny costume at Halloween, or taking up a scary teacher's offer to "share that funny joke with the class." Also, find out what "crossing swords" means and how "Stop breathing my air" became a family mantra. Check out his website here. **** Also, our favorite knucklehead is partly responsible for the Guys Read movement.
