"Summary:

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is a picture book for younger readers. Although this book was published a long time ago, I never got around to reading it as a child. I can see how children still enjoy it today, as the storyline is one that all people can connect to.

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is about a young boy named Alexander who becomes more and more distraught over the course of a day because nothing is going his way. All kinds of unfortunate and unlucky things happen to him - there was gum in his hair when he woke up, he didn't get a prize in his breakfast cereal, his teacher didn't like his picture, his best friend is only his third best friend, his mom forgot to put dessert in his lunch, etc - and no one seems to care. The only advice he gets at the end of the day is when his mother tells him that some days are just like that."

"Summary:
"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.

Potential Audience: Early/Transitional

Genre: Picture Book/Fiction

Topic: The unfairness of life, bad days, geography

Specific Curricular uses: Read Aloud:good starting point for a discussion about how everyone has a bad day sometimes.

Social issues the book addresses: jealousy, preferential treatment

Specific literary elements: The chain of events depicted in the text lead readers to really get a feeling for the main character's pain. The seemingly never ending bad things that happen are told in list form, which adds to the drama of the story.

Interactions and counter actions of text and images: The illustrations capture the overall feeling of despair in the main characters life. The simple pencil-like drawings add to the element of hopelessness that Alexander experiences."

"This is one of my favorite books. It's about a little boy named Alexander who has a horrible day. To him, everything seems to be going wrong. He even decides that he should move to Australia. This is a great book for kids. It shows them that it's ok to be mad or upset about things. For the classroom, I think it would be cute to have a picture of Australia in order for the kids to go to if they are having a bad day."

"i can't decide if i love this or not. it's a funny book that we all can relate to but is it really a book i want my kids to read. do i want "hate" in their vocabulary? and for them to believe that things just happen to them, without their control? so i gave it three stars from me as me, not from me as a parent that wants my children to grow up believing in the law of attraction."
