They think that they introduce kids to life lessons that they probably don't need in the pages of a book. NORRIS: And parents, if you look at the blogosphere, a lot of parents are really ambivalent about this. NORRIS: You know what, maybe you can help us understand the tension because on one hand, librarians have really come to appreciate these books, some reluctantly because they work so well with reluctant readers. NORRIS: So why are parents so suspicious of these books? Why are they worried? You know, they can do a reality check with their kids after they read the book and say, hey, you know, what do you think about the cheese touch and what - how Greg treated Rowley, you know, or something like that. But I think for younger readers, maybe the parents can be the moral voice outside of the text. I don't think his literature has to have morally outstanding characters in it.

And, you know, I think, really, he's a - like a condensed hyper-version of what kids are like at this age because I think the reason adults laugh at it is because we all remember doing something horrible to one of our friends as a kid or lying to an adult or something like that. He's just lazy and self-interested and doesn't think about anybody else. TANYA TUREK (Blogger, ): Oh, if he was my son, I don't know what I'd do. She's a children's book blogger and mother of three, and she has a more exacting view of Jeff Kinney's character, Greg Heffley.
