A review by mrerickeith
Funny Business by Jon Scieszka
3.0
Preface: I am not a 12 year old boy. I am a nearly 30 year old 4th grade teacher.
I was hoping for some stories that were a bit funnier. I felt the book was inconsistent in its humor. Jeff Kinney's story was perhaps my favorite. Kate DiCamillo and Jon Sciezka wrote a fun story. Jack Gantos's story made me queasy but I found it funny. The rest to me were somewhat forgettable. Some stories used humor at the expense of others which I didn't appreciate. But once again, I'm not a twelve year old boy.
