Product Review
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).
There are millions of kids out there for whom, "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" is a kind of balm. A book that understands what they have to go through sometimes and how some days you just shouldn't get out of bed (especially if you wake up with gum in your hair). Judith Viorst's 1972 classic is one of those rare stories that havent aged one tiny jot. The problems faced by Alexander are still faced by children worldwide. This book is as fresh and fabulous as the day it was thought up. It's one of those books that everyone should know and have a copy of!
