==References to the date==
In the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, the actual date of events isn't usually given, as the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is meant to be timeless and could have happened at any time. Here are dates that are mentioned in the book:
*'''July 4 - '''Greg gives his account on what happened on his July 4 from the next day.
*'''August 20 - '''This date is seen in Greg's father's planner as the date he will "sell Greg". It turns out to have been a baseball match and the selling Greg was a ruse by Rodrick.

Trivia

  • Even though Greg receives a "Ladybug" cellphone in this book, he reveals he didn't bring it to school in The Ugly Truth. This implies Frank may have confiscated it due to the fact that Greg nearly had him arrested due to calling the police, lost it at some point, is not allowed to bring it to school, simply left it to avoid being humiliated or forgot about it.
  • Trista eventually made a cameo at the beginning of the book.
  • In the previous book when Greg and Rowley went outside, it is revealed Trista is from New Mexico, and just moved in from the neighborhood.
  • On Greg's gramma's lawn mower instructions were written in Spanish.
  • Greg's gramma referred to Rodrick Rules, in which they raked leaves and dead grass was left all over her front yard.
  • Susan tries to make the summer fun for Greg, but ends up ruining it instead.
  • When Susan makes a "Reading is Fun" club  Greg brings the book "Magick and Monsters:Dark Realms Volume 9 Shadowdoom" and Susan doesn't like the way it portrays women on the cover. From what Greg can remember there aren't any women in the book.
  • In August 3,2012 a film based on this book and The Last Straw,it was called Dog Days.
  • In one UK shipping soon after the release, there was an error with the book - the cover was flipped, so that if the cover was the right way up, the pages inside would read upside down.
  • Rodrick lies to Greg about being shipped away because Dad is mad about the Rowley thing. What really happen is that Rodrick goes downstairs and wrote on August 22 saying "Sell Greg." He then leaves and go to  Greg's room and tell what is going to happen.
  • Greg best friend Rowley becomes a ex-best friend in the end of this book. This continues in the Ugly Truth until Greg become best friend again.
  • Date and time is incorrect in this book. June lasts for about six weeks. 
  • Presumably, Greg has his "big fight" with Rowley after the log cabin holiday. This is hinted as towards the end of this book, they are on uneasy terms, meaning they already had their big fight, although the actual fight isn't mentioned until The Ugly Truth.
  • Rodrick's trick of selling Greg may have been done because it would scare Greg quite a lot, due to the events in The Last Straw.
  • This is the second book where the color of the cover bears a resemblance to the story, the first being The Last Straw. The color is yellow, which may be because it's summer and yellow is often associated with summer.
