I loved these books as a kid. Never really thought about their actual values/messaging or literary/educational value.
A thing that I still remember which is a fun fact: All the girls look alike - they are drawn identically because the main character doesn't understand girls yet. Buuut there is the occasional character that is drawn differently. Which implies more lore for Greg later on
Oh thank you for the fun fact! I can’t wait to impress my students with that the next time I catch them reading The Wimpy Kid! 🥰
