A fun read for kids, a funnier read for parents by MechAngel |
| Jon Scieszka is the king of comedy in children's picture books, but anyone who grew up in the 1950s or 1960s will appreciate this humorous biography! |

| Summary: |
How did Jon Scieszka get so funny? He grew up as one of six brothers with Catholic school, lots of comic books, lazy summers at the lake with time to kill, babysitting misadventures, TV shows, and jokes told at family dinner. |
