Author Jeff Kinney joined Al Roker’s Today Show Kids Club today. Jeff is just a regular guy that wrote his first installment of this very popular series for adults. He worked on this for nine years and when it was sold to the publisher the good news was it was sold, the bad news was it was sold as a kids book.
It has changed many kids lives to date with more to come. Jeff is unique in that he does both the illustrations and the writing himself. The third book in this series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw was just released a few days ago. Your children, both boys and girls will love this series so pick up the original Wimpy Kid Diary or the lastest one today.
