From children's book legend Judith Viorst comes the perennially
popular tale of Alexander's worst day. Alexander and the Terrible,
Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is a story that belongs on every
child's bookshelf.
Alexander could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good,
very bad day. He went to sleep with gum in his mouth and woke up with
gum in his hair. When he got out of bed, he tripped over his skateboard
and by mistake dropped his sweater in the sink while the water was
running. He could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good,
very bad day.
It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Nothing at all was
right. Everything went wrong, right down to lima beans for supper and
kissing on TV.
What do you do on a day like that? Well, you may think about going to
Australia. You may also be glad to find that some days are like that for
other people too.
