Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (Paperback)
From children’s book legend Judith Viorst comes the perennially popular tale of Alexander’s worst day. Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is a story that belongs on every child’s bookshelf.
Alexander wakes up with gum in his hair and quickly realizes it’s going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. From missing out on the window seat in the car to getting in trouble at school, nothing seems to go his way. As the day unravels, Alexander’s mood gets worse, leaving him feeling cranky and convinced moving to Australia might be the only solution.
With relatable humor and timeless illustrations, this children’s book classic gently explores emotions, behavior, and the ups and downs of everyday life, making it the perfect story for teaching kids about feelings and how to handle a bad day.
