Alexander and the Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (Judith Viorst)

We loved the humor in this book. A number of kids had already read the book and even more have seen the movie. Some days are just not great...and it's good to have a sense of humor about it! I looked up Judith Viorst and it seems there are a lot more books by her! I  feel an author focus coming on! I put a swack on hold at the public library.

Goodreads summary:

The perennially popular tale of Alexander's worst day is a storybook that belongs on every child's bookshelf.

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.
