About this deal

Well, if this one's going to show up with a blurb from Jeff Kinney on the cover, let's start the comparisons. If you know any fans of Wimpy Kid, they read it like I watch Arrested Development. Over and over and over again. Sometimes they read the same book again and again. Sometimes they start from the beginning and go through the series. Hey, if you're forced to read for 20 minutes a night, might as well enjoy it, right? We fall in love with stories that are greater than the sum of their parts. The ending was sweet, though poor Timmy misses out on that sweetness, he just isn't too sharp. Set in a Wimpy Kid format this will certainly appeal to kids! I may be wrong - but the Jeffersons? Peanuts? Petula Clark? Many decades ago. Those are there for the Older Readers. Andreeva, Nellie (May 18, 2023).

Giggly and hilarious. The best kids’ books are written for everyone with new discoveries found each re-read, with each child that you can read it to, or with. Worthington, Clint (February 6, 2020).

Publication Order of Timmy Failure Books

Timmy Failure has a great imagination and uses it to create a detective agency and solve the crimes in his town. He uses his detective skills to find out who stole his favorite shirt and from there he solves all crimes he comes across. Timmy is so famous there are multiple books about his life and even a movie! Now, Timmy gives us an inside look at to how he became the greatest detective in the world. Be what you would seem to be -- or, if you'd like it put more simply -- Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.” You know how all books are not for all readers and some books work SO MUCH BETTER when read aloud? Yeah, this was definitely the case with the particular book and myself. I was all ready to throw in the towel because quite honestly, I couldn't believe what I was reading. I get it is for a much younger audience than I, but I read a fairly large amount of Children's Fiction and even Picture Books, so the fact that this one was giving me fits was enough to aggravate. HOWEVER, in my exasperated state, I tried reading several passages aloud to illustrate the absurdity of what was happening...and you know what? It. Changed. EVERYTHING. I'm not saying I'm a diehard Timmy fan now, because yeah...I'll leave that to the fandoms, however I could appreciate the humor, the jokes, the ridiculous nature of some situations and the whole investigation into the missing candy THAT much better with all my gesturing, vocal variations, and moments of acting out. So why yes, not all books are for all readers, if you've a kiddo in the house that likes to use their imagination, and you happen to have a few moments to spare to enhance the adventure, I highly suggest a read aloud session with this book! I'm a BIG FAN of the Timmy Failure series, and when I saw this one at the library, I was excited to read it.

Tallerico, Brian. "Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made movie review (2020) | Roger Ebert". rogerebert.com . Retrieved June 6, 2022. There are now seven books in the series which is a must for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Barry Loser or Tom Gates, and all readers aged 8 and upwards who love silly stories. The comic adventures of Timmy and Total are riotous but also surprisingly poignant and may bring a tear to your eye.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Flores, Terry (March 3, 2021). "2021 Annie Award Nominations: 'Soul,' 'Wolfwalkers' and Netflix Lead". Variety . Retrieved May 17, 2022. Timmy Failure is an idiot. That's the only way I know to describe him. He thinks he's a genius, but he is oblivious to what is going on around him. He fancies himself a detective but misses clues a 4-year-old would catch. He's also mean to his friend Rollo ("the rotund boy"), mean to his classmate who clearly has a crush on him, and he's mean to his other classmate, Corrina Corrina, who has enough problems on her own with her emotionally absent father. He's not very respectful of his mother or his teacher. He just seems to think he's the smartest and really has no time for anyone who doesn't think that, too. Barnes, Brooks (November 7, 2019).
