Jeff Kinney’s “Diary of A Wimpy Kid - Dog Days”rules the roost. This delightful series is big with tween boys, even those kids who aren’t that big on reading.
What a pleasure it is to see that this latest book is now the top selling book over at Amazon.com. It blew right past “The Lost Symbol” by Dan Brown. It swamped Glenn Beck’s “Arguing With Idiots”. And it left Sarah Palin’s “Going Rogue” somewhere outside Wasilla. Wow!
I love it when a book for kids blasts right past all these serious adult books. Awesome!

I often find the kids books more compulsive than adult fare. At first I was sad my son grew up (he will be 20 soon). Then I decided I was just a big kid who never grew up. I check out kids books all the time!By Insider
