• Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw Book Review
• Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days Book Review

Also available is the Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Do-It-Yourself Book, which is an awesome product for fans of the series. The Do-It-Yourself Book allows kids to keep their own "diary," and even provides prompts for kids to write about, funny lines, and cartoon drawings. The Do-It-Yourself Book is a great way to get kids to write about themselves and their lives.

And...set to be available March 16, 2010, is The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary, in which Jeff Kinney uses his same witty prose and iconic illustrations to tell about the making of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie. Here is what Jeff had to say in a press release about the new book:

“When I decided to work with Twentieth Century Fox to bring Diary of a Wimpy Kid to life as a live-action movie, I didn't know what to expect,” said Jeff Kinney. “I was fascinated by the filmmaking process, and I thought my readers might be as wide-eyed and interested as I was. In The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary, I’ve tried to tell the story of how a movie gets made in a way that will entertain and inform kids.”

The new book sounds like a dream come true read for kids who are fans of the book and are interested in film making and/or animation.
