[quote=Anonymous] The first two or three were funny, then DS didn't want any more. As someone who hates junk books with a passion, I have to say that this junk series is smarter than most in the category. Most adults have no appreciation for classical literature, whether for children or grown-ups, and can't distinguish between good writing and bad. We are not like that, and I have observed that booksellers capitalize on that to sell crappy books - if they're marketed enough, people buy them. I have always encouraged my children to read as much children's classics as they could, as well as great 20th century stories, and a few contemporaries. I have read my favorites aloud to them, which they always enjoy. In that context, reading Wimpy Kid was a big deal. We got to discuss what an antihero was for the first time :-) [/quote]
