Revised letter from 7.22



July 17
Dear Mr. Joe,
I am reading Knuckle head by Jon Scieszka.
Knuckle head is a series of short stories. I will write about one called “Readers Beware”. In “Readers Beware” Jon finds an ad in the back a comic for a 100 soldier set for a dollar and 25 cents. When he opens it he thinks the mail man dropped it on the ground. Then he realizes that it wasn't broken it’s just super small. Then at the end of the story, he sells it to Jim for a dollar and 50 cents. 
My favorite part was when he was looking at the small soldiers wondering if it was broken, and how then he gave to his brother Jim and made him pay $1.50. I liked this because it reminded me of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. It also reminded me of me and my little brother Max. He said, "I ripped open the paper and pulled out a little box it seemed a bit small. About the size of a deck of cards. I figured maybe they packed each division in a separate box. Army guys in one. Navy guys in another.Jets and Tanks and Battle cruisers in another. I opened the little cardboard box, which was marked sort of like a foot locker. Tiny little bits of dark green plastic spilled out. Each as small as a dime of black plastic spilled out”. This part reminds me of Diary of a Wimpy Kid because Greg bought a bunch of stuff out of a comic book and it was a rip off when none of the stuff he bought from the comic book ads worked like it was supposed to. This also reminded me of my brother Max because he tries to make me pay too much for lots of different things. One time he made me pay him five dollars for him to take my share of the trash because I really didn’t want to do It.
Well, Mr. Joe, I am more than halfway through Knuckle head and loving it. I enjoy reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I am taking a break from Knuckle head and reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Jon Scieszka is a master at storytelling and descriptive writing. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes funny books, or just a good story.

Reading rocks! :)
Jack
