★　小学１年生の副読本（？）約200頁強
どうもアメリカの１年生は、これを音読の速さで読めるみたい！
たしかに面白い。ちょっと漫画っぽい。漱石の坊っちゃんみたいなノリ。

Diary of a Wimpy Kid, 3 THE LAST STRAW, The #1 New York Times Bestseller, by Jeff Kinney,
p.19（の途中から）- p.22.
物語の作り方みたいなのがあり、それなりに的を射ていると思う。そこで転写。

＜19頁の途中から＞
I've heard some of the stories Mom and Dad read to Manny, and let me just say that the people who write these bools, really have a racket going. First of all, there are hardly any words in them, so I'm sure it only takes about five seconds to write one.

絵：母親がマニーに本を読み聞かせている（本の文章がコレ）
- SILLY BEAR YAWNING. SILLY BEAR SAD. SILLY BEAR SLEEPING. SILLY BEAR GLAD ! THE END.

＜20頁＞
I told Mom what I thought of Manny's books, and she said that if they were so easy to write, then I should try writing one myself. So that's exactly what I did. Trust me, it wasn't hard, either. All you have to do is make up a character with a snappy name, and then make sure the character learns a lesson at the end of the book. Now all I need to do is mail this thing off to a publisher and wait for the money to sart rolling in.

Once upon a time there was this man named Mr. Shropsharp who thought all these crazy thoughts.

One day Mr. Shropsharp took a ride in his car.
- HERE I GO...

But then...
- OOPS.

（4頁目：医者から説明を受けている）
And then…
- MR. SHROPSHARP, YOU WOULD HAVE DROWNED, BUT LUCKILY TOBUK HERE WAS SITTING ON AN ICEBERG, AND HE SAVED YOUR LIFE.

（5頁目）
And so...
- BEFORE, I SAID THAT POLAR BEARS ARE SOME USELESS AMIMALS, BUT NOW I CAN SEE THAT NOT EVERY PLART BEAR IS SO USELESS AFTER ALL.
THE END

See what I mean? The only thing I noticed after I finished the book was that I forgot to make it rhyme. But the publisher is gonna have to pay me extra if they want THAT.

という感じ。文法は全部、出てくる。単語・表現はスラングや丁寧語、擬音語や幼児語（子供っぽい表現）もあり、さまざま。で、生意気なガキ（と言いたくなるような13歳）が主人公、弟（3～4歳）、兄（17歳）、父と母、男友だちとガールフレンドとかが登場。子どもの視点で、いろいなものに呆れて、物事をやや斜から見てバカにしていく面白いスタイル。６～７冊のシリーズ本。手元にあるのは借りものなので１冊くらい欲しいかな。。。
