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…” WARNING You might want to have a spare pair of undies handy while you read about Reggie's weekends.*
What Reggie Did on the Weekend Seriously! The Reggie Books Book 1 eBook Lee M Winter
Quick & Dirty HighlightsFor those kids who feel picked on and abused, there's a terrific series of books in a series known as Diary of a Wimp. At the other end of the spectrum, we have a new series starring a mischievous youngster named Reggie.
This book is oriented to our youth with a sense of humor. Just as Diary of a Wimp connects with many kids, Reggie's story will have many kids rolling in laughter. A few even will be impressed that Reggie's mother is just like their own mom.
This book uses stick figures instead of fancy art, but my thinking is that such artwork is perfect for this topic, because anything more elaborate would smother the message.
Target Audience/Genre: Children, aged 7 and older.

Note: in addition to a brief excerpt, I intend to attach a screen shot so the line art quality is clear,
I’ve included a small excerpt below, so readers can peruse the style of presentation utilized by the author.

On the weekend Ma took me and my brother, Con, to IKEA to buy a new lamp.
As a special treat we ate lunch in the IKEA café. Con and I both chose the salt and pepper squid and a bowl of fries.
For a brief moment there was panic at the table when it looked as though Con had been given six pieces of squid and I only had five, but a closer look revealed that one of my squid pieces was twisted with another piece, in a kind of squid hug, making it look like there was only one when there were really two. Phew! Con said that my squid pieces were bigger than his.
I said, “No, they’re not.”
Con said, “Yes, they are.”
I said, “No, they’re not.”
Con said, “Then let’s swap. You won’t mind swapping if they are the same.”
I said, “No way.”
Con said, “Swap or I’ll punch you.” He whispered it, so that Ma wouldn’t hear.
Ma said, “I heard that.”
I quickly licked all my pieces of squid so Con wouldn’t want them.
Then I noticed something shocking.
Con’s fries were...

Bottom Line:
This is the sort of book I would buy my grandkids to get even with my kids for the pranks they played on their mother and me, if I had any grandchildren. Of course, my daughter-in-law would object, so I would be sneaky about such a gift. Fortunately, it is Kindle...
Just kidding...sort of...

What Reggie Did on the Weekend Seriously! The Reggie Books Book 1 eBook Lee M Winter Reviews
I liked it. It was pretty funny. a a a a a a a a a a a a a
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!
I got this book for my younger cousin who is six years old. He likes to play on smartphones as most children do. So I introduced him to the app via this book. He enjoyed reading it so much that he literally could be heard laughing throughout the house. Thank you, because of this book he looks forward to reading on an electronic device more than he does playing a game.
I chose this rating because it's funny, to a point. I mean, fart jokes and things like that can be taken too far.
I liked how the book was funny, but then it began being a repetitive joke.
This book could have been so much funnier if it had been written with a more sophisticated vocabulary. I get that it's intended to amuse and entertain middle school boys, but they deserve a bit more of a challenge than this. Even the "Captain Underpants" series is better written and has a more interesting story line-with graphics! I wanted to like this book, but did not think it worthy. Middle schooler deserve better.
A good, fun read about young Reggie's weekend adventures. I think kids, especially boys, aged between 7-9, will enjoy Reggie's bizarre tales. It had me laughing out loud in places. Good and simple illustrations, but this really wasn't the appeal of the book. It was the main character and how likeable he was. Some of the stories were a bit out there, but they were fun all the same.
It's a good start to the series.
Reggie is quite the 'adventurous' little boy! As most young children, he manages to get into an assortment of trouble on the weekends. When he returns to school on Monday morning, he has to write an essay about what he did the previous weekend. The author has written this book for ages 7 -12 and is certainly entertaining for that age. And beyond, I might add as I got a few chuckles out of this one, too.
Most of the stories center around farts and vomit and other yucky things the little ones laugh hysterically about most days. The one I laughed the most at was the one about the fart collection. The author has managed to sneak a portion of this one into Reggie's plan to take over the world. One must remember when making plans to make sure you are clear about things you need to do in order to complete your task.
There are some black and white drawings which accompany the text. All in all, highly recommended and your kids will certainly get some laughs out of this one. The story 'His fries are bigger than mine' made me laugh, also.
