Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day By Judith Viorst This book begins and ends with the main character in his pajamas, so the reader has a glimpse into Alexander’s day from start to finish The story depicts a series of frustrations and disappointments experienced by Alexander throughout the day. Our hero's gum-styled hair and peevish countenance are artfully depicted by Ray Cruz's illustrations. Judith Viorst flawlessly and humorously captures a child's testy temperament, rendering Alexander sympathetic rather than whiny. He resolves several times to move to Australia. As Alexander's day progresses, he faces a barrage of bummers worthy of a country- western song: getting smushed in the middle seat of the car, a dessertless lunch sack, a cavity at the dentist's office, stripeless sneakers, witnessing kissing on television, and being forced to sleep in railroad-train pajamas. People of all ages have terrible, horrible days, and Alexander offers us the cranky commiseration we crave as well as a reminder that things may not be all that bad. So begin the trials and tribulations of the irascible Alexander, who has been earning the sympathy of readers since 1972.
