Interesting Book

This book is an interesting read! It helps make you see that once in a while you may have a bad day. But this gives a good example that if you're having a bad day and just think tomorrow will be a better day. Children can laugh along and enjoy this book of Alexandrer's Bad Day.

Cynthia Marie Rizzo, author of "Julie and the Unicorn" and "Angela and the Princess"

an old favourite

My children grew up with this book and loved it. Now I've bought it for my [...] grandchild. It's a timeless, gentle, wonderful little story about how sometimes life just isn't what we want it to be.

I remember when this came out nearly 20 years ago

I was a bookseller and this was one of the most eagerly sought after children's books of its time. And now that I have my own little 'Alexander' I am thrilled that it's still not only available, but doing so well.

It's never too early to learn that you can have a bad day! And Alexander's bad day (comprising of no prize in his cereal, friend trouble, teacher trouble, a cavity, new sneakers in the WRONG COLOR and HE CAN'T FIND HIS YO-YO! And I won't even mention what happens in his dad's workplace!) can happen to anyone.

Happy reading! Your little ones will root for Alexander (and want to know where Australia is!)

My all-time favorite!

I can recite most of it from memory, I love it so! I tell people about it all the time and recommend it (along with Alexander Who Used To Be Rich Last Sunday) as a staple in every library. It's a great one to have even if you don't have kids (sometimes the little buggers show up for visits!) This book does a hilarious job of pointing out to kids that some days just stink and that you live through them anyway. The illustations have some great humor for the adults. Read it aloud to someone you love! Aura Mae, Author of Get Some Hairapy - a hairdresser's prescription for happiness.

my own bad day

I grew up with this book and today, at the age of 22, I was cheered up with just the thought of it while having my own horrible, terrible, no good, very bad day.

Lets just say that this is a book that stays with you. Even in Austrailia.
