Knucklehead: Tall Tales and Mostly True Stories About Growing Up Scieszka

Knucklehead, by Jon Scieszka
Grades (4-6)

Growing up in a household of six boys is bound to produce a rich environment for tales of mayhem and hilarity. The writer of The Time Warp Trio and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs does not disappoint. We read this story aloud in our home one soggy gray day, and spent most of the day laughing. Of course at least one of the chapters contains a disclaimer - I think the one with fire, but it might have been some other disaster or near-disaster. The packaging of this tale is also delightful. Full of clues of what lies inside in 1950’s style advertisements, the cover is also worth your time.
