Sick Day!

I am home today, sick. I remember a loooong time ago when I was home sick from school. For a brief period in my life, my sister and I de-bunked the bunk beds and had two twin beds side by side in our room. They were covered with quilts and afghans (the blanket, not the people) that my grandmothers had made. It was here that I would rest and flip through my stack of sick day reading material. Back then it was mostly Highlights magazines. It was the perfect day to find all those hidden pictures before one of my three siblings did. I could catch up on all the good jokes, find the mistakes on the back cover, and enjoy the easy reading of a magazine.

Today, 20-something years later, I have decided on two books. For my first pick, I am trying to catch up on The Red Pyramid. But my true choice for today is one that my best friend and I are reading, Knuckleheads by Jon Scieszka.

This book, written in just about 100 pages, tells 1-2 page short stories about the author's childhood growing up in the midwest.  I loved it the first time I read it and it is the perfect type of reading for a sick day.  I still laugh so hard I get tears in my eyes. (p.s. that is the author with me in my profile picture!)

What is your favorite sick day book?
