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

by Judith Viorst

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

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

Synopsis:

Viorst's classic tale of a little boy who must accept the reality that "some days are like that," when everything he does goes awry, is one of her most popular works. "The clever text shines."--"School Library Journal," starred review. ALA Notable Children's Book. Full color.
