A "WIMPY" Billboard
Wow! Check out that amazing billboard for Diary of a Wimpy Kid:The Third Wheel! You know a book has a healthy marketing budget when it finds itself on a billboard. If only we saw more billboards advertising children's books. I imagine a child spotting an advertisement for Babymouse: Cupcake Tycoon and announcing from the backseat, "Mom, we need to find the closest independent bookshop. Stat."
Here are eight books I want to see on billboards in Times Square:
Book #1: Boy + Bot by Ame Dyckman and Dan Yaccarino
Book # 2: Babymouse for President by Jennifer and Matthew Holm
Book # 3: The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate
Book # 4: Wonder by R.J. Palacio
Book # 5: One for the Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt
Book # 6: Oh No! Not Again! (Or How I Built a Time Machine to Save History) (or at Least My History Grade) by Mac Barnett and Dan Santat
Book # 7: C. R. Mudgeon by Leslie Muir and Julian Hector
Book #8: Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons by Eric Litwin and James Dean
Book # 7: C. R. Mudgeon by Leslie Muir and Julian Hector
Book #8: Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons by Eric Litwin and James Dean
Look for Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel on November 13, 2012.
I'm calling it a success that I've read (and loved) 7 of your 8 books listed. Still need to find C.R. Mudgeon. Can't wait for the next Diary of a Wimpy Kid book.
