Editorial Review: Product Description: 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 “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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Funny Accompaniment To Wimpy Kids Everywhere! I think this will be great in my classroom when I am working with another student and someone else needs something to do. Wimpy kid is a huge hit with my students and writing in something that all the kids can laugh with and enjoy would be fun for everyone. Good addition to the collection! Rating:  - Be Sure You Know This Is Different from the First Two Books before Buying ItTake the subtitle of this book seriously: It is mostly a do-it-yourself book rather than funny stories like the ones in Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (Diary of a Wimpy Kid). Sixteen pages of colored cartoons are the only funny stories in the book that are similar to the earlier two books. Some funny illustrations surround the diary's questions. The idea is to create a journal that a youngster will look back on some day, a sort of written time capsule. If ...

My kids love all the books and I think this will be really fun for him since he likes making up his own comics. Rating: - diary of a wimpy kid do it yourself bookThis book was wonderful. My grandson of 8 yrs old opened it and didn't put it down for 2 hours. He wrote his own stories and took great care with his penmanship, it was great!! Rating: - My son can't put this down!My son LOVES this book since I bought it for him he can't put it down & can't wait to get a new one!! I think it really brings out the creative thinking in kids, he has always loved reading but never liked writing much, this book is a great combination of both!! He is only 8 and has no problem with this but he is a high achiever in reading also.
