Dear Jeff Kinney,

        Thank you for making Dairy of a Wimpy Kid Rodrick Rules. I like this book because it is funny and it has great words. It is just plain awesome. It’s funny when Greg wants to join the water jazz team because it is all old ladies and he has to wear tight bottoms and when he wraps himself in toilet paper because he is cold. Please make more books just as funny as Dairy of a Wimpy Kid one and two. What made you want to write this book?

        Thank you,

        Brittany Stafford

Dear
