 Be Sure You Know This Is Different from the First Two Books before Buying It November 30, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Take 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 you insist on buying this, you've been warned. It's not what you think it is . . . and it's not a very good value.
When I was 9-12 years old, that was the last thing I would have wanted. As an adult, I'm always annoyed by "books" that mostly blank pages of lined paper (with little cartoons in one corner). I can buy lined paper much cheaper in other forms.
With those warnings in mind, some youngsters will be glad if they answer some of these questions and later look back on what they wrote. I would warn those who think about doing that not to write anything that they wouldn't want parents, siblings, and friends to see at the moment. Some of the questions are ripe for creating vast embarrassment for a youngster.
The book starts off in confusing fashion on a page entitled "What're you gonna do with this thing?" At the bottom, it says "Whatever you do, just make sure you don't write down your 'feelings' in here. Because one thing's for sure: This is NOT a diary."
Contrary to that statement is the book's title: Diary of a Wimpy Kid. In addition, less than halfway through the book there's a section preceding all those pages of lined paper that says "What's Your Story?" which contains these directions:
"Use the rest of the book to keep a daily journal, write a novel, draw comic strips, or tell your life story."
Those directions immediately follow a page that says: "Diary of a _____"
Is a diary by another name any less a diary?
The fill-in-the-blank parts of the book contain lots of questions designed to elicit current likes and dislikes (video games, songs, books, movies, animals, colors, and houses), your predictions for the future, and potentially embarrassing facts. There is also a lot of emphasis on creating comic strips by providing unfinished panels to be completed and then followed by empty panels. You also have a chance to draw some maps as well. More fun is to describe things that you would like to do in the future (such as the first laws you would pass as president).

Diary of a Whimpy kid Do It Yourself Book. My kids love all the books and I think this will be really fun for him since he likes making up his own comics.

This 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!!
My son can't put this down! November 24, 2008

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.
Awsome for kids! November 23, 2008

My son who is 8 looooves these books! He can't get enough of them. Unfortunately we have to wait for the next one till Jan and they have not made many of these books he has all of them and read them all very quickly. It keeps his attention from cover to cover and doesn't put it down till he read the whole book. He absolutely loved the do it yourself book he had a ball filling in all his details. I would definitely recommend this book.
