Monetary issues abound in the best-seller graphic novel Diary of a Wimpy Kid, where Heffley, his little brother Manny, and his friend Rowley often try to borrow or use others' money, the failure of which often develops into stealth or abuse of money, not to mention Heffley's mom's failed effort of disciplining him by introducing Mum Bucks. Money plays the role of currency and is one of the regulating and most fundamental principles in the adult society. Those who disregard the commonly accepted way of the use of money are often marginalized or even become criminals. On the contrary, in the children's world, money is often marginalized and destabilized—it is not respected with reference to its proper function in the adult world and it is often abused, counterfeited, or denied, the degree of which often indicates the degree of maturity of the character. This article analyzes different characters' regards and uses of money in Diary of a Wimpy Kid in an attempt to reveal the marginalized or even destabilizing role money plays in the children's world. It argues that the least mature character holds the most careless attitude toward money and this behavior often upsets the more mature character, who to a certain extent has partly internalized the central role of money in the adult world. It is, therefore, not surprising that Heffley's mom's introduction of Mom Bucks fail to work in the end because it symbolizes adults' futile enforcement of the disciplinary power of money in the children's world where it is not recognized as such.

货币在儿童文学中的边际作用相反：《 Lo弱的孩子的日记》中的贷款，债务，妈妈钱和对他们的颠覆

最畅销的图画小说《 W弱的孩子的日记》中充斥着货币问题。在这里，赫夫利，他的弟弟曼尼和他的朋友罗利经常尝试借钱或使用他人的钱，而失败的后果往往会演变为偷钱或滥用金钱，更不用说赫夫利的妈妈通过介绍妈妈雄鹿而对他进行管教的失败了。 。货币扮演货币的角色，并且是成人社会中调节和最基本的原则之一。那些无视普遍使用的货币使用方式的人往往被边缘化，甚至成为罪犯。相反，在儿童世界中，金钱经常被边缘化和不稳定—在成人世界中，金钱没有得到应有的重视，它经常被滥用，伪造或拒绝，其程度通常表明程度角色的成熟度。本文分析了不同人物的试图揭露金钱在儿童世界中扮演的边缘化甚至破坏稳定角色的role弱小子的日记。它认为，最不成熟的角色对金钱的态度最为粗心，这种行为常常使更成熟的角色感到沮丧，后者在某种程度上已将金钱在成人世界中的核心作用内在化了。因此，毫不奇怪的是，赫夫利的妈妈对雄鹿的介绍最终未能奏效，因为它象征着成年人在金钱世界中徒劳地执行金钱的纪律力量，而儿童世界对此却不被认可。
