On the weekend I looked for a new book. I always read the description first because, you know, I won’t read just any old thing. So I read the description for this book and thought it looked okay, so then I read the online sample and laughed so hard that a little bit of pee came out. Okay, a lot of pee came out. ALRIGHT! I PEED SO MUCH I HAD TO CHANGE MY PANTS! There, are you happy now? It’s funny, okay? And it isn’t all about vomit and farts either (okay, a lot of it is about vomit and farts, but what’s wrong with that?) *Every Monday at school, Reggie writes an essay that begins with “On the weekend…” You might want to have a spare pair of undies handy while you read about Reggie's weekends.*
When I’m not writing books, I work at my day job as a psychologist in the area of parenting and child behavior research. I have some boring scientific publications out under a pen name but find writing for children a lot more fun!
I live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia with my husband and two sons.
What Reggie Did on the Weekend: Seriously! (The Reggie Books Book 1) by Lee M. Winter is a book I hope is written for kids because it is so NOT funny that I doubt kids would get a giggle out of it. If you want a truly funny book about farts that adults can laugh about, and yes, this 60 year old lady laughed about farts like a school girl, is 99 Facts About Farts: The Ultimate Fun Fact Book by J.N. Storm. Now he is in his 90's when he wrote this book!! Read his book, not this junk. I have 8 grand kids and I wouldn't even bother given this book to them. I normally don't dis a book but this was very bad.
What an adorable comical relief! I laughed at every story Reggie told us! and, amazing all the stuff he got caught in and yet seemed so very logical for a little kid! Make your Mondays happy, read this on a bad day!
I rate this 5 star because I thought it was really entertaining and a good book. I would recommend this book for ages 6-12. I hope my review helped you, thank you!!
Ok...... I wanted to read a few "kids books" for (ahem!) research. This one popped up for free. My favorite price. I am not sure if this was written by a child with no boundaries or a deranged twenty something. There are some fun spots, but mostly, ahhh.... no!

Okay, so I'm thirty-don't-even-go-there, but I have to say that I enjoyed this book - it was funny and cute. Maybe one to share with the nephews rather than work mates lol
Books like this are so informational for children and hold such a wealth of knowledge. I really enjoy reading books, like this one and many others to my children, for if you start them young then they will grow to have a love for reading and adventure!
I often read YA books or books that I think my grandsons will like, but this was too juvenile for me or for my grandsons. I really wouldn’t want them reading this because I just found it obnoxious. I’m sure that young people will like it very much because it’s a10 year-old type of male humor, so if that’s what you’re looking for then this book is probably for you.
The beginning of the book, I thought, was kind of funny. As I went further in the book, I didn’t think it was so funny. It was just too much of the same. I’m not so sure that young boys would think this book is hilariously funny. I’m pretty sure that girls would not give it the time of day. I did, though, really love the stick drawings.
I find it unbelievable the thoughts of a young boy. Who could possibly think about farts. I agree I hated cooked cabbage. My mom used to fry it with ham, disgusting. My nephew who is 10 was listening to me read it, and of course he comes from a different culture. He told me, "all I think about is soccer and when its time to eat".
I thought that this book was slightly on the boring side. It started off pretty funny, then slowly dropped off after that. I thought it was going to be more humorous, but perhaps I had my expectations higher than I should of. Would recommend to younger readers between 4-9 year olds.
A very cute quick read about the misadventures of a boy named Reggie, during a not-so-amazing weekend. It had a lot of funny moments and great pictures. I espesically like the childish dialogue between Mom and Reggie and Mom being taken away to the crazy house. I look forward to reading the sequel.
