The long dog days of summer are over! We spent much of the spring and summer working on Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days from the cover to the interior and then the intense marketing campagin. Finally we get to relax and celebrate our hard work. That is until book five . . .
But today is for celebrating. I have been on a train since 6 am headed to my college town of Providence, Rhode Island for Jeff's first signing at the Providence Place Mall ( which was just being built when I was a sophmore) today starting at 11am. We are expecting up to 4,000 people. It's going to be a long day. I'll be sure to post pictures ASAP.
Hope everyone enjoys the book.

This is my Nina. She is a Whippet. Whippets make the best pets, she's very sweet and gentle. Loooooves to sleep on the sofa or anything soft (they are so skinny I guess hard surfaces hurt them) and runs like a maniac twice a day, usually making the figure "8" at 35 miles per hour on my back yard :o)
And here is a sketch of her. She is being very considerate and is helping make up her bed :o)

"Amulet Books, an imprint of Abrams, has just released the title and cover art for Jeff Kinney’s much anticipated new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book—Dog Days. The fourth book, which will have a one-day laydown, arrives on Monday, October 12 with a massive three-million-copy first printing.
“I didn’t want my fans to have to wait a year for a new book,” said Kinney in a statement. “I’m very excited about Dog Days, because it takes Greg out of the school setting for the first time. It’s been a lot of fun to write about the Heffley summer vacation.”—Publishers Weekly

Here are two of my favorite photos of my baby girl Daisy! She is inspirational, no? ;) I have double the fun because I also have another baby girl, Daisy's sister Ruby, not shown. :)
Enjoy the "Doggie Days" of summer!

I think I saw a sign that he would be in Beaverton, OR on Oct 19th for his book signing... :)
congrats!!! :D
Well done! One of the fifth graders in my school read his copy straight through--took him 1 hour and 45 minutes. He LOVED it!
congrats, Mr. Beckerman!
