Publisher's Note

Now every kid can write like a Wimpy Kid!

 

An exciting companion to the bestselling Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.

 

“First of all, let me get something straight: This is a journal, not a diary.”

 

This innovative interactive journal based on Greg Heffley's own “diary” lets kids express themselves in an exciting new way. In Diary of a Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself Book, kids will be asked: What was the best dream you ever had? The worst thing you ever ate? The best secret you ever heard? The most trouble you ever got in for something that wasn't even your fault to begin with? This Do-It-Yourself Book features art throughout, along with ruled and blank pages for readers to create their own stories, keep their own diaries, and record their favorites and least faves. Includes a bonus full-color comics section featuring the collected cartoons of Greg Heffley and his best friend, Rowley.

 

Includes
16 pages of full-color comics!

 

 “Move over, Harry Potter. . . . There's a new set of titles dominating the bestseller list for kids' chapter books, and there's nothing ‘fantasy' about these.”-Andrea Yeats on NPR's All Things Considered

 

“Perfectly pitched wit and believably self-centered hero . . .”-The New York Times

 

“Charming and hilarious from the get-go. . . . [Kinney has] an uncanny eye for the depredations and triumphs of middle school life.” -The Boston Globe

 

“The writing is sharp, and the artwork, though deceptively simple, is both entertaining and expressive . . . adding comic punch to these funny-because-they're-true scenes . . .” -Bookpage

 

“Perfect for someone about to go to middle school, perfect for parents to help ease their child into this new phase. . . . Kinney has done a wonderful service for preteens by talking about all those awful, embarrassing, and good moments.” -The San Diego Union Tribune

Nice hardcover book to go with the Wimpy Kid series. I gave it as a gift and it was well received. The book has lots of pages that you fill in about yourself. There are also comic pages that you can draw on, as well as fill-in questions to personalize your own sort of "Wimpy Kid" journal. A nice gift for a kid who is into the Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

After my daughter borrowed a few of the other Diary of a Wimpy Kid books from the local library, she wanted to borrow this book as well. She didn't know at the time that it was an interactive book. When she did get the book she wanted to purchase one for herself that she could write in.

The book has many activites for my daughter to do. She can write her own stories, thoughts, and plans for the future. She has alot of "quiet" fun. She can add her own pictures inside of the book to make it all her own. There are comic strips inside where she could write in what she wants the characters to say.

In the beginning of the book there are the interactive activities that they have printed in the book just waiting for your child to complete. In the middle of the book there are a few pages of colorfull comics for the children to read. And from the middle to the end of the book are the lined pages waiting for your childs story.

I rate the book a 4 out of 5.

If you find that my review is helpfull, please rate it. Thanks :)

I've got the book for my son. He is 10 years old, and He likes very much the Diary of a Wimpy Kid collection. The book is meant for a kid who wants to have its own diary. He was not very convinced at the begining, but afer a couple of days He begun to write short sentences. I think it is a good and much more enriching activity than playing with video games.

I bought this for my 8 yr old son he's read Diary of Wimpy Kid books, he'll love writing his own journal. These days kids don't read much with video games and the internet consuming their time. This book ask questions that kids can connect with like "worst food eaten" and has plenty of blank pages for writing and drawing their own characters. The cover of this page looks like CHEESE. Cheese Touch!
