Knucklehead

Hey guys, Its KBA Kritic #3!! Woot Woot =P
Im back, once again to tell you about the book I just finished! Its called Knucklehead! Okay, I know your thinking "Knucklehead? What kind of name is that for a book?" Ha, or at least i was when i first heard of it!! Knucklehead is a biography on the childhood of Jon Scieszka! Its not just about one thing its about lots of diffrent things. It goes from talking about school to toy soilders!! I think one of the main reasons i really enjoyed this book is because it made me think about all the stories my parents use to tell me when i was younger.

Jon grew up in Flint, Michigan, with 5 brothers. Jim, Tom, Gregg, Brian, and Jeff. He was the second oldest and nicest and the smartest and the best looking and the most humble, accordinding to him!!:) His family was a house hold full of boys.[[except for his mother of course]] His father was principle and his mother was a nurse. Jon thought it was very helpful that thier mom was a nurse because it came in handy when someone got hurt from wrestling,acting like they could fly or just being plan silly!!! There are so many adventures Jon explains in this wonderful biography,about his life growing up!! I'm going to tell you about the top 3 adventures i enjoyed the most though out the story!!

Chapter 16: Brother-sitting, was probably my favorite chapter in the whole book!! Its about when Jon and his older brother Jim was left in charge of there younger brothers! Jon and Jim saw this as a chance to make a little extra money. They would charge Gregg twenty five cents to have a cookie after bed time, Brian ten cents to let the dog sleep in his room, and Tom fifty cents to stay up an hour later but he never paid it. Tom keep geting out of bed one night so Jon and Jim tied him up, in his bed, with there dads ties! When their parents found out about this they were not to thrilled. "What if there had been a fire?" they would ask. "It would have burned off the ties." Jim said. "And then Tom would have escaped!" i would add. Well that ended the brother sitting buiness for them!! Haha, thats so hilarous! Sounds like somthing i would do!!

Chapter 35 would have to be my next favorite! Happy Birthday to you...Or us!! Jon always thought he got lame gifts for his birthday because it was so close to when school started back. So for his birthday he would get pencials, paper, markers, and other school stuff for his birthday! But when Jon actually thought about it he discovered his parents got even lamer gifts fo their birthdays! Their father's birthday was on christmas eve so they always thought it was funny to get him a salt shaker for his birthday and the pepper shaker for christmas! But they really reached new lows when it came to their moms birthday. They were all boys so they had no idea on what to get a woman. They usally just bought her cheap perfume every year. One year mothers birthday cane around and they decide they were goin to get her somthing totally useless like baseballs, pro-volley ball net, fishing lures and so much more,that way they could use it! But all in all it worked well because mother was finally happy that they stoped buying her cheap stuff!

Last but not least, chapter 14, Halloween!![[My favorite holiday if you were wondering :)]] Dressing up all 6 boys for halloween became very expensive over time. So mother developed a system. There was 6 different costumes. Each year everyone would pick out there costume and when the next year came around you would pick somthing eles out. So everyone wore the same costume atleast 3 times! The costumes were: China man, The bunny, The bum, Ghost, Ho-bo, and a boy scout. The boys eventually out grew these costumes and decide to just sit on there porch and scary the trick ou treaters who came to get cany at there house!!
