'Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever' (Jeff Kinney). While my brother did not particularly like to read, he was drawn to humour in books, choosing to read 'Elmer Runs Wild'and 'The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole'. I wonder whether, had the number of funny books that exists now been available to him at the time, he would have found reading to be more enticing. Interestingly, the attraction, or perhaps availability, of funny books falls once readers reach their teenage years, books with more emotional or adventurous themes take over. And, of course, it is not just funny books that children like to read.
