The Wimpy Kid Show, Village Books at Alleyn's School
The smash hit Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series is brought to life for an afternoon of London family entertainment and activities.
Anyone with a pre-teen will already be au fait with the cartoonish cult that is Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Penned by American author Jeff Kinney, this best-selling series is responsible for winning over even the most reluctant of young readers. The ever hilarious foibles of the titular wimp, Greg, combined with snappy language and bold, comic book style illustrations prove irresistible for children ages 7 to 11. Great literature it may not be, but the Wimpy Kid franchise is loved as much by those parents who, after despairing over their children's refusal to read, find themselves prising these books out of little hands at bedtime.
The Wimpy Kid show brings the zany literary world to life. As an American -- who is adept at churning out a steady stream of novels to bolster the series -- Jeff Kinney could not commit to a book tour to launch Wimpy Kid nine, The Long Haul. Instead he recruited host Alastair Watson to invite readers along to a show jam-packed with book-based fun. With a draw-along and lessons on how to recreate the characters at home, a Wimpy Wars quiz and video clips of Kinney discussing the book series and subsequent film adaptations this is an exhilarating event for Wimpy Kid fans.
