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
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

Tricks...I mean inspires...kids into enjoying drawing and writing!
About the book: Instead of a novel, about half of the book is a workbook of sorts -- including survey pages (like: "Five things NOBODY knows about you"), themed drawing pages (like under the heading: "The WORST NIGHTMARE you ever had"), unfinished comic pages (in the typical Wimpy Kid style, where you finish the comic or add text to the balloons). The other half of the book is lined blank journal pages.
We bought this for my 9-year old son because it was a 'Wimpy Kid' title. Despite that, I wasn't expecting him to do more than page through it a couple times, because although he loves the Wimpy Kid series, he has never gone out of his way to write anything more than has been absolutely necessary for school.
To my surprise, my son loves this book. He's had this book about 8 months now and continues to come back to it. He's drawn his own cartoons, filled in many of the surveys, and has written numerous pages of journal entries. Before this Do-It-Yourself book he had no interest in writing; now he comes back to the book often to add to it.
This book has opened my son to the world of journaling. What's more, when he's grown it'll give him a snapshot of what a funny, goofy kid he was.
Son Loves this Series!
And while he begged for this one, I relucted to get it since "do-it-yourself" translated to empty journal for me. But I relented and bought it for him for X-mas when the price dropped because I knew he wanted it badly. And I'm not disappointed. I read through it and while it is a do-it-yourself, it isn't an empty journal. Sure there are blank pages with suggestions, but theres a lot more and it was definitly worth buying. For anyone who loves this series, this book is a must and definitly worth the price!
A great series, a great idea.
My son has read and re-read and re-re-read all of the Wimpy Kid books. He likes the idea of writing and this book keeps him doing it. I pulled the book off the shelf today and found that he had been keeping a sporadic journal - "don't call it a diary" - for months. While this book is probably only 1/4 full of pre-printed stories, the pages of blank, lined paper are well worth the cost.
