Knucklehead a short storytelling book by Jon Scieszka describes the mess that 6 boys in one house can make. To begin the family of Jon Scieszka is introduced as a family from Flint, Michigan. The best story from the boy's childhood is when they were in a construction area and dug foxholes and trenches and started a war with their friends. My other favorites include every chapter about his catholic school like when the nuns are introduced as the teachers. Another catholic story is when it talks about all the extra curriculum the boys signed up for to be like each other like choir Next is all the jokes in the book such as puns family punchlines and so much more. Finally, the last story that I enjoyed was about where they almost set the house on fire from burning plastic.




This book was great it was funny descriptive and over a long period. Funny this book was so funny I don't know if it is just because there is 6 brother or the way it is written this book is one of the funniest books I have ever read. Another thing about this book is it is descriptive and I say this because none was slow delta you got every second of that story. Last but not least this book had a span of time from the first two kids till both of the oldest graduated. So in my opinion this book is amazing and should not be overlooked.
