this is the third book in the dear dumb diary series. i enjoy all of Jim Benton's books so much. He makes me want to read his books over and over again! Even though they are kids / tween books, i enjoy them and i would recommend them to other people. This book continues Jamie Kelly's interesting but boring life with her bestfriend isabella and their enemy Angeline. In the third book it is all about the poems jamie recieves. and the mystery to find out who he is because shes in love!

ps:I tried to secretly sniff Angeline from two sides today to see if she really is Zone Shampooing. I couldn't tell a difference. I don't think there is such a thing.pps: There is, however, a way to creep somebody out by trying to smell both sides of their head.Other ways I have creeped people out in the past:Tried to casually peer up Uncle's nose.Tasted comb.Was spotted practicing kissing an arm.

Jamie Kelly returns as the world's funniest mean girl (or is it the meanest funny girl) in kids-lit history. She still has a passionate dislike for the smokin' 13-year-old Angeline (I say somkin' to be slightly sarcastic, since no teenage girl should be sexed up like Miley or Selena. It's too young!!!) Now her best bud in class is challenging her to a duel by coming up with the cutest animal pet photo for an art project, and yes, it will have to include (somehow) her devoted nemesis beagle Stink...

Okay, I'll admit it, I love this series of books. It's like eating twinkies - you don't do it all the time, but I totally enjoy it when I do. Nothing deep or meaningful (obviously), but just absolutely hilarious. This, to me, is the equivalent of watching Saturday Night Live.

This book is about a girl named Jamie Kelly and she thinks she is not pretty enough to have a boyfriend. And she is jealous of this girl named Angeline. Jamie thinks she is really mean to everybody but she is not even mean to anybody. The problem in the story is that she is always trying to make Angeline life bad. The main character of the story is Jamie Kelly, Angeline. The setting of the story is Jamie’s bedroom and their school. I like this book because it is like a real middle school life. A...

In my opinion Dear Dumb Diary Am I the Princess or The Frog written by Jim Benton is the best book ever in the whole wide world so I am giving it 5 stars . I recommend this book so other 4th graders read this book and enjoy it just like me. I enjoy this book because it is entertaining. It is entertaining because of the pictures drawn. In her diary Jamie draws herself. My favorite drawing was when she drew herself writing in her diary. In her diary she wrote how enemy Angelina was mean to her. A...

I can see the kid-appeal of these slight "diary" books, especially for fans of the Wimpy Kid. This one was mildly humorous, but I don't feel the need to read anymore in the series!

All the Dear Dumb Diary books are really good for people from non-English-speaking countries learning the language. On the other hand I would say about it the same thing I said about the Diary of a Wimpy Kid - it's inappropriate for children under the age of eight because it teaches them that school is something really wrong and boring and some people are just bad - it's never like that!

Although not as funny as the others, this one is still hilarious. You might not find the plot line of any of these books to be elaborate or anything like that, but come on! You can read it in an hour and it's really worth it!

My sister gave me this series after reading it with her kids and loving it. Sterling actually read them with me. They were hilarious and a fun thing for us to do together. Definitely a laugh-out-loud book. Very fun for elementary kids on up.

I haven't read the previous books in this series. I might one day.This is an easy to read book with as much humour in its illustrations. It mentions fairy tales and it shares a similar idea of morality with some of them. In a way that is far less violent than fairy tales originally were. The book is hard to dislike. It is also not one I loved at any point. The main character just lacked a likeability that would have helped. She complains too much and although embarrassment is overplayed in her a...

Ha ha ha, I hate to admit it... but I came across this book as I was babysitting. Yes, I know it's for a preteen audience, but my first grade niece read it and I read it.. and it made me laugh till my stomach hurt.

Seriously funny.Told in an epistolary format, Jamie Kelly writes about her day to day life as a middle schooler. Between her truly ugly dog, her mom's terrible cooking, the school snob, and a few mysterious love letters, Jamie's life is never dull.With hilarious illustrations, quick wit, and characters with huge personalities, Benton knocks this one out of the park.I would recommend this story for 3-5th graders who enjoy realistic fiction.

I feel with all of these series the same. They are stupid. They are strange. They are crude, and yet they hold my attention. I feel theses books are fairly good. I read them in the 5th grade and i read each of them in a day!

Dear Goodreads Friends, Some days you are the frog and other days you are the princess. Truthfully, you can be both on the same day to different people. Jamie is back with her snarky diary entries and her middle school dilemmas. When Mrs. Bruntford has to take sick leave after an unfortunate encounter with the cafeteria meatloaf, a handsome sub takes her place. His name is Mr. Prince. Jamie is crushing on him immediately. Her diagram comparing Mr. Prince to Hudson Rivers is a hoot. There is an o...

This is a great book! You should read it, if you didn't. Jamie got a crush on Mr. Prince, a man that is filling in for miss Bruntford. A few days passed, Jamie found a note inside her locker. She read it, and knew that Mr. Prince wrote this, because it says M.P. She gets a letter each day. Hudson liked Jamie, but Jamie didn't care..... She was in love with Mr. Prince. Jamie tries to get rid of Stinker, her pet away because Isabella has to get photos of people and their animals for her project. S...

This book is really funny, along with the other books in the series. The drawings are hilarious and it is really fun to see how this middle schooler thinks about everything and how she works. These books are different than other books I have read, and I like that. The books have many diffeerent characters and settings with crazy, insane events and overall I loved them.

I'd like to say I thought as much of this book as I do of Jim Benton's Franny K. Stein series. Those books manage to entertain both adults and children without relying on bratty kids and dumb adult characters to get laughs. Am I the Princess or the Frog? doesn't go to the extremes that I've read in some other books (ahem, Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Fabulous Life) but I was still a little disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too high. Franny K. Stein was great precisely because it mana...

I like this book because it made me learn something. Initials can make you feel like somebody you wanted to write to you was going to do it and did it but actually it was somebody you didn't like and it was really unexpected. The thing I don't like is just because it is about dating and true love.

ok this is one of my top favorite books its about a girl and the book is her diary and in the begining there is a warning telling you to stop reading this diary immediatly. And if this is my parents and you punish me for something written in her diary then i'll know you read my diary
