Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Alexander knew it was going to be a terrible day when he woke up with gum in this hair.

And it got worse...

His best friend deserted him. There was no dessert in his lunch bag. And, on top of all that, there were lima beans for dinner and kissing on TV!

This handsome new edition of Judith Viorst's classic picture book is sure to charm readers of all ages.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: The reviews are funnier than the book
Comment: I absolutely positively love the negative reviews of this book. I realize there are differences in taste and experience, but people seem to miss that the book makes it okay to have a bad day. It validates, from a child's point of view, that your whole day can go horribly terribly wrong. This book is far from negative and depressing, it's uplifting!

My son and I both love this book. It's a soothing reminder that everyone has bad days from time to time. Every mom forgets something in the lunch box. Big brothers are sometimes pills. And there's that one pair of pajamas that just aren't right. This book makes all that yucky stuff OKAY, and that's a gift.

Summary: Very Pleased
Comment: I loved this book and it came to me quickly and in good condition! I had seen it in the past and thought it was a poem. I used it as a performance peace for a church function.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Alexander is great!
Comment: My daughter loved this book. She is 7 and it was right at her reading level.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Very good lesson - even for adults
Comment: This book was mentioned in a book called 'Lies Women Believe'. It got my curiosity so I looked for it and bought it. not only is this a great book for kids on how to deal with the 'bad stuff' that happens sometimes, it's a good lesson for adults. Very cute title too!

Summary: A Fun way to say "Grrrrrr"
Comment: I almost didn't buy this book for my four year old, who was having a hard time expressing his emotions verbally, because of some of the feedback on Amazon. I am so glad that I did in fact purchase the book to read with my son. He really enjoyed hearing about Alexander's terrible, horrible, no good, really bad day and has since been better about expressing his negative feelings to me and equating his feelings with those of Alexander. PS: We also really like Alexander who used to be rich last Sunday.
