Other books like Wimpy Kid and Big Nate?

[StantonHyde]

DS has finished all of the books. He loves these books and reads them constantly. For a kid with dyslexia, this is really a bonus. Any other books out there that are funny, with some drawings, but mostly text? Along the same grade level?

Ds1 thinks that the Dork Diaries is hilarious. He knows it's a series geared more toward girls, but doesn't care.

[StantonHyde]

DD likes the Dork Diaries. Maybe I could convince DS...

[trentsmom]

DS1 is reading My Life as a Book (http://www.amazon.com/My-Life-Book-Janet-Tashjian/dp/0312672896), and he will be getting Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Not Reading (http://www.amazon.com/Charlie-Joe-Jacksons-Guide-Reading/dp/1250003377/ref=pd_sim_b_2) soon. Sounds like I should tell DS1 about the Dork Diaries, too!

Captain Underpants (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_sabc?url=search-alias%3Daps&pageMinusResults=1&suo=1353435234158#/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=captain%20underpants&sprefix=captain+u%2Caps&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Acaptain%20underpants) books and a couple of related books by the same author. These are a big hit with DS who also loves Big Nate.

Origami Yoda (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_sabc?url=search-alias%3Daps&pageMinusResults=1&suo=1353435234158#/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=origami+yoda&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aorigami+yoda) series I think has some pictures, but I would have to check at home tonight to be sure.

I just asked DD and she said George Brown Class Clown by Nancy Krulick (thre are a whole bunch of these and DD whizzes through them and thinks they are funny) and also Dear Dumb Diary but she said it is more girly

My fantastically talented author friend Ellen Potter is coming out with a new book in June (boo!) called "Otis Dooda". It contains illustrations by David Heatley. The book is geared towards ages 6-9. My older kids cannot wait to get their hands on a copy!! Sorry it is not sooner... HTH...

The My Weird School series by Dan Gutman are popular and fun reads.

[justlearning]

DS really liked all the Humphrey books.

[jacksmomtobe]

DS likes the books you mention and now is into the Stink books by Megan McDonald. His teacher put a few on her wish list for the school book fair so I got him a few and he has had his nose buried in them. It is a series with @8 books. He is also into the Bone Series of books.

[cono0507]

All of the above.
Also DS likes the Geronimo Stilon series.

[MichelleRC]

DS2 is a fan on the Dan Gutman My Weird School series (as well as his The Kid Who Ran for President),

DS1 really liked My Life as a Book and My Life as a Stuntboy, but his favorite all time books were the 2 Justin Case books by Rachel Vail.

[justlearning]

All of the above.
Also DS likes the Geronimo Stilon series.

Oh, yes, I was thinking of Geronimo Stilton. DS loved those and read them all. He also liked Humphrey books but GS has lots of pictures and fun changes of text type.

Origami Yoda (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_sabc?url=search-alias%3Daps&pageMinusResults=1&suo=1353435234158#/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=origami+yoda&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aorigami+yoda) series I think has some pictures, but I would have to check at home tonight to be sure.

I checked and the Origami Yoda books do have quite a few pictures, along with plenty of text, similar to Diary of a Wimpy Kid books.

Different subject matter, but the TinTin books and the Asterix series are comic-book style. Vocab may push up a notch. DS ADORES them.
