Fill it in yourself. I got some ARCs at a conference and kids snatched them up. Great for kids, not so great for libraries.

Ah! Remember those middle school days? For me it was loopy earrings, banana clips, the girls with the perfect perms and spiked bangs. Not to mention, the social clicks, health class, and the giggles when a boy talked to you. Diary of a Wimpy Kid is laugh out loud funny. Jeff Kinney reminds me of those days in middle school and by the lives of my own 11, and two 13year olds not much has changed. Kinney has brought these awkward years much needed comic relief through cartoons and Gregg Heffley, a ...more

Let’s face it: Greg Heffley will never change his wimpy ways. Somebody just needs to explain that to Greg’s father.

Of course, Greg is able to easily sidestep his father’s efforts to change him. But when Greg’s dad threatens to send him to military academy, Greg realizes he has to shape up...or get shipped out.

Used this book for a class I taught on the first book, we used this activity book while reading the first book together. It was really useful, and really fun. I really liked that the activities creative and relevant to what kids like to talk about. Plus this book saved me a lot of time, it's basically a ready made class activity book, and it's great for getting kids to share their personal experiences, I think I learned a little too much about the kids in my class :)

I have to admit we didn't get very far in this book, some of it was very funny for kids. The turnoff the kind of disrespectful language that kids find to be funny... like calling people ugly or talking about farts... not something I want my kids to read, since I don't want them talking like that.
I guess for older kids that a lot like it and they write in it like a diary which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1.

After reading the Diary series, this hands on diary creator has become a family favorite that never fails to ignite the imagination and ispire writing assignments! Every writing teacher's dream come true, this book motivates even the most reluctant writer.

the activities in this book were fun while they lasted, but i was a little upset when halfway through the book, they left the rest of the book blank so you could "write your own wimpy kid journal".

it was the fourth in a series recommends it for: people who like to make comics and books
It wasn't as good as the other books in this series, but it had a lot of funny comics and I was able to make my own funny comics, too, which was fun!

I think Jeff Kinney was creative to make a Do-it-yourself book. Any kid would want to draw in a book. This guy let it happen.

Makeing your own book isn't that fun, especially when it's pretty much copying one of the greatest kid books around.
