Almost every guy-writer for kids gets his two-to-three-page say in this fundraising (for guysread.com) collection, and it's to Scieszka's credit that he goes beyond the usual suspects to include illustrators and sports columnists as well as a few educationalists concerned with male literacy. The collection is a mixed bag of, primarily, autobiographical anecdotes that are mostly comic in intent if sometimes desultory in effect.
