FUNNY BUSINESS
By Jon Scieszka
This book is a collection of short stories from different authors. All the stories are funny, and some titles include: "Best of Friends", where a kid wins two tickets to the nestle factory, and everybody tries to get to be his guest, "A Fistful of Feathers", where the kid's dad's pet turkey tries to kill the kid, "Unaccompanied Minors", where 2 kids are always trying to scare each other and playing pranks on each other, and many other stories. I like this book and would recommend it to people who like to laugh, because some of the stories are hilarious.
Quote From the Book
A quote from the story "Artemis Begins" that demonstrates characterization is the line, "I was the aspiring writer, bespectacled and be-notebooked. Eamonn was the tearaway, never without a nest of twigs in his hair and a bleeding cut on his knee"(Colfer 57)
Review From Booklist
