Alexander,
by Judith Viorst, is an all-time favorite, whether he is wondering what happened
to the wealth he had last Sunday, facing up to a horrible day, or refusing to
leave his neighborhood when his family is moving. Children will find many of
their own feelings portrayed with great sensitivity and humor in the stories in
this collection.

to Vienna Rose read
Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day to you. A
marvelous example of the magical encounter between a child and books that we
wish for all children.
Amazon : "I went to sleep with gum in my mouth and now there's gum in my hair and when I got out of bed this morning I tripped on the skateboard and by mistake I dropped my sweater in the sink while the water was running and I could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day." So begin the trials and tribulations of the irascible Alexander, who has been earning the sympathy of readers since 1972. People of all ages have terrible, horrible days, and Alexander offers us the cranky commiseration we crave as well as a reminder that things may not be all that bad. As Alexander's day progresses, he faces a barrage of bummers worthy of a country- western song: getting smushed in the middle seat of the car, a dessertless lunch sack, a cavity at the dentist's office, stripeless sneakers, witnessing kissing on television, and being forced to sleep in railroad-train pajamas. He resolves several times to move to Australia.
Judith
Viorst flawlessly and humorously captures a child's testy temperament, rendering
Alexander sympathetic rather than whiny. Our hero's gum-styled hair and peevish
countenance are artfully depicted by Ray Cruz's illustrations. An ALA Notable
Book, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is a great
antidote to bad days everywhere, sure to put a smile on even the crabbiest of
faces. (Ages 5 to 9)
Publishers Weekly : Objecting loudly to his family's plans to relocate, the hero
of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day "makes a
gratifying return," said PW. Ages 5-8.
