Editorial Reviews:

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

Summary: The Do-it-Yourself version of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
Comment: Diary of a Wimpy Kid has been one of the most innovative books in child literature with its diary format and a mix of text and comics. Greg, the main character echoes sentiments of any middle schooler and even strikes a familiar chord with older and adult readers as his dilemmas with bullies and teachers seem familiar. The best part is that the books are a faster read than most chapter books so even the reluctant readers will find them easy to read. The books are also laugh out loud funny with their middle school humor which makes kids read them again and again.

This DIY book is the addition to this series. It is meant for fans of the series who have already read the first 2 books Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (Diary of a Wimpy Kid) and want to explore more till the third book Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw (Diary of a Wimpy Kid) comes out next year. This is not just a book like the others but also a journal which a kid can fill out with his/her own writing, illustrations and comics.

The first 90 pages of the book are created to spark a kid's interest and imagination by providing inspiration for writing and drawing. One of these pages asks you to draw a plan of your "dream house", another asks you to list "5 things nobody knows about you", yet another asks about "The worst nightmare you ever had" or "Rules for your family" and so on. In addition, there are a number of pages with unfinished comics that invite you to create your own. The rest of the book has plain lined pages with a small sketch of a character from the book at the bottom that a kid can use to create his/her own diary.

Overall, it is a good buy for kids who have already read the series as it encourages them to create their own diary. The Wimpy Kid Diaries have worked magic with some reluctant readers and got them to read, now this DIY journal has the potential spark their interest in telling their own stories through words and comics.

Summary: Great to spark writing...
Comment: My son loved all of the Wimpy Kid books and when we saw this was available we snatched it up! He has spent many happy hours writing his own stories, jokes and drawing pictures in his Do-it-Yourself Book. If your child doesn't enjoy writing this is a great way to get them to write that they will love!

Summary: Collect the series
Comment: I have four sons ranging from 12 to 5. The older three love this series. I get a kick out of it as well. We had to buy three of these books so they could each have their own to write in. My 5 year old can't read or write yet or I would have purchased 4.

Summary: Not a rip-off after all
Comment: My 9 year old loved the first two Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. On a recent trip to the bookstore, he chose the Do-It-Yourself Book as his book for the week. At first, I said no, because I thought it was a rip-off that more than half of the book is just lined pages! He convinced me in the end, and he has loved the book. Not as much as the first two, but he has spent many hours reading it and writing in it. I know we will keep this book and show it to his kids one day --- won't that be fun!

Summary: Great keepsake book
Comment: This is the series that got my 8 year old son to want to read on his own - that is worth 10 stars to me! When we purchased this book, I thought he would just skip over the pages where you are asked to write and be done within one evening. No so, my son did not take his nose out of the book for over two straight hours after purchasing it. He was dilegntly writing and drawing as well as reading. I can't wait to sneak a peak and see what he wrote. To me it is a wonderful keepsake book that I'll keep when he has children of his own and can read all the wonderful adventures and ideas he had at 8 years old. The author prompts something most books don't, being creative and using your own imagination. HIGHLY recommend this one!!!
