About This Book

Now everyone can have their own Wimpy Kid diary! Draw your own Wimpy-Kid-style cartoons, fill in facts and lists, check out the full-colour comics inside and even write your own Wimpy Kid journal, just like Greg.

Our Review

This interactive journal brings the world of Wimpy Kid directly to your hands, transforming readers into creators with guided prompts for drawing cartoons, completing lists, and writing personal stories. The format perfectly mirrors the series' signature style, offering structured yet creative spaces to invent your own characters and comic scenarios just like Greg Heffley. Full-color comic inserts provide direct inspiration while leaving ample room for personal expression through fill-in-the-blank adventures and diary pages.

What sets this apart from standard activity books is how authentically it captures the voice and humor of the original series while empowering young writers to develop their own narrative style. Budding cartoonists and diary-keepers will find the perfect balance of guidance and creative freedom, making the transition from consumer to creator feel natural and exciting. This hands-on approach to storytelling doesn't just entertain—it builds confidence in personal expression and visual storytelling skills that extend far beyond the final page.
