I would've LOVED this as a kid, about grade 4 or 5. Full of riddles, puzzles, prompts to write your own comics, etc. You have to own this book, or use a notepad with it if you borrow it from the library. :-)

This is also one of the best Big Nate Book I've ever read in my life compared to other big Nate books.

A fun and well balanced activity book for Big Nate fans. I'd recommend this for airplane rides or long vacation drives. It's not repetitive and very Nate.
