Series book
My series is Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I have honestly never read any of the books and I thought they would be a nice light read. I’m reading cabin fever which is the 6th book and I read it whenever. It is easy to pick up read and then put it down. There are pictures on every page and most have two so it’s a really fast read and I can knock out ten pages here and there like nothing. I also read it to my son at night and he enjoys the story, but mostly the pictures. I really like how simple it is, but also relatable. It’s been a long time since I was in jr. high, but many of the things in this book bring back memories of my own experiences in jr. high and even elementary. I think because of the simplicity of the book it would be good for 4th graders. I think that his views and his relationships are easy to grasp. This is just a nice quick read. As I mentioned above this book brought back memories of my own experiences and because of that I believe this book would be a good tool for children to relate to their own experiences. It is a good example of a diary/journal and how kids can incorporate drawings with their words, especially if you have artistic students that don’t enjoy writing, but love to draw. I think I will start reading the first book next, but I love that you don’t have to have read the previous books to get the gist of what is going on.
