Great book for even early readers.

My son first discovered the Wimpy Kid books when he was in 1st grade. He loved the first two, and when we saw there was a new one, he wanted it right away. (Before he even opened it, he saw on the back cover that another new one was coming out, and he got even more excited). This book is more of the same (which is a good thing), and it adds a lot of blank areas within the story where it encourages readers to use their imagination and add to the author's story.

My son starting reading this book in the store, and didn't put it down until he had finished it. The last half of the book is just lined pages for the reader to write their own stories. I am going to encourage my son to write in it a little every day.

I can strongly recommend this book to parents of children not only in middle school, but elementary school too.

Granddaughter, 9 yrs, LOVES This Book

My lovely granddaughter read the first two Wimpy Kid books and enjoyed them immensely so we ordered this one and she absolutely loves it. There are so many ideas, suggestions, things to think about and things to do with this book, to make it the child's own creation. Can't go wrong. We've also pre-ordered the next one, can't wait!

Great keepsake book

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!!!
