Jon Scieszka writes funny children's books that play with fairy tales, school subjects and the conventions of storytelling itself. The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs!, illustrated by Lane Smith, retells the familiar tale from the wolf's point of view and turns conflicting versions of events into the joke. The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales breaks apart fairy-tale structure through parody, while the Time Warp Trio series sends three boys into different historical and fictional settings after a magical book goes wrong. Scieszka's writing is quick, absurd and highly aware of how books work. It fits comic picture books, fractured fairy tales and humorous early chapter books. Read more Less
