Diary of a Wimpy Kid 4 Production

Best Deal on Diary of a Wimpy Kid 4

September 23, 2009

We’ve been checking all of the online bookstores for the best deal on Diary of a Wimpy Kid 4: Dog Days. So far, the best deal that we have found is from Amazon. They are charging $7.67 if you preorder it. If you are ordering other books, it is eligible for Free Super Saver Shipping if you order $25 or more.

The other option would be to pre-order it from Borders. It’s $10.46 but you can have it shipped to your local store and not have to pay any shipping charges.

My daughter has already been saving up a dollar at a time to put away enough to get her copy. She just got Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3 from Scholastic last month and is now caught up on the series. I have a feeling that this book is going to be hard to get if we don’t pre-order it!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid 4: Dog Days is due to be released October 12.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Video

June 19, 2009

While we anxiously await the next Diary of a Wimpy Kid book and the arrival of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie, here’s an interview with Jeff Kinney, the author of the books. The interview was done after the first two books were released. In the interview, Kinney talks about how he and the fans like the books equally. In addition, Kinney answers the question of why these books appeal to boys more than most other books made for the 10-13 age range.

One of the things that Kinney talks about a lot is the impact of Diary of a Wimpy Kid on “reluctant readers,” or kids who would otherwise not want to read for fun. We hear that frequently when people talk about the Wimpy Kid series.

Kinney also talks about the possibility someday of a “Wimpy World,” or a place that kids can interact online within the Wimpy Kid Series. Kinney wants to “keep [his] options open” about the spread of Wimpy Kid into different media.

Check out the video and tell us what you think. Is Kinney what you expected?
