Anyone familiar with the under twelve set is no doubt aware of 
The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney. The most recent book in the series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days
just hit the shelves. Most fans pre-ordered the book while others lined-up to snag a copy at their local bookstores. The Wimpy Kid books are playful and fun, combining text with cartoon drawings that leave kids giggling.
My 10-year-old nephew Jake is a die-hard fan. Like many other young readers, he is so loyal to the series he isn't interested in reading other books. What's a book-loving aunt to do? I consulted a group of children's book specialists - authors, librarians, bloggers, and reviewers. With their help, I offer some great books to read until the next Wimpy book comes out!
