When Alexander wakes up with gum in his hair, he thinks that maybe it’s going to be a bad day. When he trips on the skateboard by his bed and drops his sweater in the sink, he knows it’s going to be even worse than he thought. His brothers find fabulous prizes in their cereal boxes; he finds cereal. His best friends get fancy desserts in their lunch boxes; Mom forgets dessert. From being scrunched in the car on the way to school all the way to lima beans for supper and kissing on TV (yuck!), the day just keeps getting worse. It’s enough to make him want to move to Australia. A popular and prolific author of children’s books, Judith Viorst writes so that kids can recognize themselves in her stories. Johnny Heller’s sympathetic narration lets the child in everybody identify with Alexander’s predicament and his temptation to go somewhere far away.

We enjoyed this book when my brothers and I were kids. Then with my kids it was just as loved. Now, my granddaughter has been introduced to Alexander and his relatable, funny world. A new generation of fan! Anyone who's ever had a Monday should give this a listen, and enjoy the laugh! Then pass it on.

Ages so beautifully!

The book is a wonderful way of showing from a child’s point of view that not every day is going to be sunshine and roses, and it’s OK to have a bad day every once in a while.

I always loved reading this to my kids!

But way over priced for a 10 minute reading. The narration is ok, not particularly amazing.

A great book for emotional preschoolers
