Jon Scieszka: Writing Books for Kids

Named a National Ambassador for Young People's Literature by the Librarian of Congress, Jon Scieszka is the bestselling author of more than 25 books for kids, including "The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales," "Math Curse," "Robot Zot!," and the Time Warp Trio series. Scieszka founded "Guys Read" to encourage a passion for reading among young boys, because he believes that boys love to read most when they are reading things they love. His most recent book is "Battle Bunny." Oh and did we mention that he is hilarious?
