Janet's Book Nook

I came across a lot of chatter lately about the children’s book series titled "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" written by Jeff Kinney. I thought it might be a good recommendation for some of my readers that are moms. This series is meant to be a diary of the main character Greg Heffley. Greg writes about his life as a bullied child. He is bullied by his brother and also by some of the older kids in school. Right now there are two books that have been released with another set to release in January 2009. The titles of the first three books are:

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Last Straw (releasing January 2009)

From what I have read and seen these books are filled with drawings and doodles that younger children will find amusing and will help keep their interests. On the other spectrum the writing style and hijinks of Greg will be enjoyed by older children. The first book is #2 on the Publisher’s Weekly Best Sellers List and the second is #3 so I would think that says volumes about the quality of the books. Enjoy!
