Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day Written by:Judith Viorst, Ray Cruz 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 Reviews: I bought and read this book looooong before I had any children. When I first read the book I thought that it was a cute story with many quotable lines. It wasn't until recently though, now that my children are ages 1-9 that I realized that this is probably NOT fiction, but a true-to-life account of life with children. The string of events, from waking up to gum in his hair to everything else that happens is funny. Why is it funny? Because it's all too TRUE! Great story, great illustrations. Viorst at the top of her form! A definite keeper -- 5+ stars!   >>Order this book from Amazon.com <<
