Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days by Jeff Kinney

I read the book Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Dog Days by Jeff Kinney. I think it was a good book because it was funny and it was the kind of book a lot of kids would enjoy, like I did. It was written in a comic book style, which I enjoy. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars because it was entertaining and funny but also kept my attention as it was easy to read.  The book was about a boy named Greg Heffley who would be inside playing video games on nice summer days.  So, his parents made him go to the Country Club with his friend Rowley. He didn’t know that when you order smoothies at the Country Club, you would have to pay for them.  So, one day Rowley’s Dad came to Greg’s door with a bill for $83 that he and Rowley had to pay off. They decided to come up with a lawn service, but that didn’t work out so well, so they never really paid it off.  After that Greg’s Grandpa told Greg’s Dad that he really ran over his dog when he was little and that his dog didn’t really run off to a chicken farm.  Greg’s Grandpa thought his Dad was finally old enough to hear the truth.  So, after hearing that, Greg’s Dad left and came home with a brand new dog. The dog practically ruined Greg’s summer by taking up space on his bed every single day and barking early in the morning (every morning).  Rowley’s parents invited Greg to go on their family trip.  Greg was only excited to go to the beach with Rowley’s family so he could ride the Cranium Shaker.  Greg went on the trip and broke all of the Jefferson’s rules that they gave him, so Greg’s Dad had to drive all the way there to take him home.  In the end, his summer turned out pretty good because Greg and his Dad had a lot of bonding experiences, especially when it came to the bad comic.
