Product Description
Alexander knew it was going to be a terrible day when he woke up with gum in his hair.
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.

I went to sleep with gum in my mouth and now there's gum in my hair and when I got out of bed this morning I tripped on the skateboard and by mistake I dropped my sweater in the sink while the water was running and I could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

Format:Paperback
When I was 16 yrs old I worked in daycare, one day I found this book and read it to my class...It was so great, every child soon knew every word and I was ask to read almost everyday. That was 14 yrs ago, I now have my own 6 yr old son, and this is his favorite book, we read it all the time. Even my mother who is near 70 yrs old laughs each time she reads it. It is a wonderful book for all ages. Everyone can relate to having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day!

I have used this as part of self esteem and anger management sessions and it has been really good. No-one's day could ever be quite as bad as this one in reality - so you can always show that someone has had a worse day and dealt with it well. Thought it would have been nice if it was in colour, as the kids can loose interest in black & white picture.

I love this book...It shows children how others have bad days. The way the book is written makes the children you read to want to participate. Pretty soon you have the children talking aloud with you as you read!

Not a very uplifting book
This was given to our 6 year old son, who loves a story at bedtime. With a new book he normally loves to read it again and again. Not with this one. Read more

Not so enjoyable for us as the other reviewers found it.
I bought this book for our six year old grandson on the back of the glowing reviews posted. However I would point out a few things. Read more
