Helps boys realize that they aren't the only ones that these things happen to. Reads just like a journal of a boy who goes through one life journey after another. Great little books for young boys. The author does a great job of expressing the realistic dealings of a day to day life. Is a great addition to the other books from this series. Explains in a comical way situations that young boys go through on a daily basis. From dealing with an older brother to embarassing ordeals at school.
Rodrick finds out about Greg's and Rodrick keeps bugging Greg about it. He is mean because he took his van to pick up Greg after swimming lessons and he made Greg sit in the back where there are no seats and is almost crushed by Rodrick's drums.My favorite part is when Greg is at swimming lessons and he tells the coach he need to use the bathroom because he doesn't like the lessons. It is always bright outside, but they rather stay inside playing video games. Rodrick is a mean big brother. The Diary of a Wimpy Kid- Rodrick Rules is mainly about a big brother named Rodrick, the main character is Greg, a little brother named Manny, Mom, Dad, and a friend named Rowley.
The author wrote it to entertain the reader. It was so funny. He is always finding out about secrets and then telling people. It was one of my favorite books. Manny is always getting trouble with his parents but he always gets out of trouble. I loved the book. Greg is always getting into trouble with his parents. It makes me laugh so hard.
It is about Greg trying deal with his older brother, Rodrick.They live in a modern American city. It is cold in the bathroom, so he wraps himself in toilet paper. I recommend it for fourth and fifth graders. Starting the new school year, there is more of a chance of secrets coming out with the diary around. Greg is getting pretty sick of it.
Kinney has a wonderful sense for the insecurities and problems of adolescence, and he comes up with one funny chapter after another. "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules" is every bit as good, clever and funny as the first one. I read it all in one day. I loved the first "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" book, and it would seem impossible that Jeff Kinney could match it with the sequel. But he did.
I just think it's too bad that Rodrick is so mean to Greg. I'm not kidding, it is. (Written by Emily's little brother William)"Rodrick Rules" is very funny. It's my favorite book ever.
He read the first one and requested the rest of the series. My eight year old son, who does NOT consider reading fun, LOVES these books.
