What Fun

Customer Rating:
This is a book that children can't help but chuckle when they it is read. It's just fun and Alexander is so loveable like another character,Cyrano in Life's Little Lessons: An Inch-By-Inch Tale of Success, another fabulous piece of children's literature with inspiring messages,laughs and a great bonus reading guide for parents and teachers. Check this out.

Nothing positive

Customer Rating:
I'm sorry...I know that we all have bad days. I understand that, but there is nothing positive about this book. I thought there would be something that changed that would cause him to have a good day. I guess the title says it all. But my seven year old nephew did like the book.

A great book for a childs bad day!

Customer Rating:
A wonderful, fun book to lighten the mood. My daughter loves to read this. I use the phrase with my eight year old daughter: "some days are like this..." (my daughter always smiles and finishes with: "even in Australia" for me. Cheers her up every time. We read it often and have for a while. It helps that her name is Alexandra.

No good, Very bad, DAY!

Customer Rating:
This is a childhood favorite of mine explaining the life of a child who is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day! He goes through why he is having this terrible day and at the ending there is a little surprise. Very good for younger children, even some older children. Great to read in a classroom!

The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Book

Customer Rating:
This should actually be called Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Book ... It was given to my daughter as a gift. As I was reading it to her, my husband popped his head in the room and asked "What are you reading?!" Alexander has such a bad attitude -- why would we want to introduce such a book to our child who has a sunny, bright disposition? I'm not PollyAnna, but I definitely don't see any reason to own this book. I'm sure there are better books to help children through the inevitable bad day ... This one definitely isn't for us.
