Jon Scieszka grew up in a family of boys in Flint, Michigan in the late 1950s. He was the second boy, and thus got a lot of hand-me-downs (and got ot hand down a lot of things.) He went to Catholic school, and then later a military school. He got into trouble in various ways, doing a lot of "boy things". He also fell victim to various aspects of culture of the day. In one case, he ordered a large army set. He eagerly awaited the arrival, only to find they were super tiny. The content and delivery make for an entertaining look into boomer childood.
