Diary of a Wimpy Kid

[ShibbOleth]

My kids love this story (web book?). Here’s an excerpt that had my daughter literally laughing out loud:

Originally from “Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Day 22”

There was this book Dad used to read to me before
I went to sleep called “A Light in the Attic”.

It was an awesome book but on the back of it
there was a picture of the guy who wrote it,
Shel Silverstein.

Have you ever seen that guy? All I can say is
that he looks more like a criminal or pirate than a
guy who writes poems for kids.

Well, Dad used to leave that book right on my
end table every night with the back of the book
facing up, and it really gave me the heebie jeebies.

The author is Jeff Kinney, and it’s been online for a while, so it may not be new to anyone else, but I’ve never seen anything about it here. Just thought some other Doper parents might appreciate the corruption of their young’ns.

I bought the second one (on paper) for my 8 year old in Barnes and Noble at around 2 pm Sunday. He read it cover to cover non-stop. Wonderful, peaceful, happy times in the villa house that afternoon.
