Central Idea for author
Author Info
Jon Scieszka was born in Sep 8 1954 in Flint Michigan. His biggest challenge was getting rejected with his first books. He was inspired by becoming a 1st grade teacher and that he loved to read. He currently still writes books.
Theme
The theme of Jon Scieszka's books is to teach stuff and don’t assume things without hearing the rest of the story or another point of view. I think this because he makes books that teach stuff like Math curse and science verse. Some of the other books he makes are add on’s and gives you another point of view. Then It shows you that the rest of the story or the other point of view makes you question the original story.
Tone
The tone of Jon Scieszka is always funny, silly, goofy. I think this because his books are never serious. The characters are not serious. The books he makes always make people laugh and just feel funny.
