This is not a book; it's more like Diary of a Wimpy Kid do it yourself journal. And really, it kept me from getting bored while mom got her eyebrows plucked, but that's a different story.

this is a great book for when you have to take a kid on a long car drive. there are lots of activities. they are not overly repetitive so kids shouldn't get bored. some of them will take a good amount of time. nothing is so brain busting that it will make parents look dumb.

This isn't really a story- a lot like Wimpy Kid's "Do it Yourself" book, it's a fun book with activities to do when you're bored or on a road trip.
Pretty fun for whatever the occasion is, too.

Mostly activities (word searches, codes, crosswords, lists, etc.) with a minimum of plot. Good book for Big Nate fans to take on a vacation. Don't forget a pencil and eraser.
