Summary: We all have days like this.
Comment: This wonderful little book details the trials and tribulations of Alexander on a bad hair day. Bad hair day, literally, because he went th sleep the night before with gum in his mouth and woke up with it stuck in his hair. Things went straight downhill after that inauspicious beginning, and he drags himself reluctantly from one minor disaster to another: the middle seat in the car, only white sneakers in his size, no dessert in his lunch.
We all have days like this, as Alexander's mother tries to tell him; it's just nice to have some company when you're miserable, when your stars are out of alignment, when your biorhythms have the jitters, when your karmic debt seems to be calling.
Buy it for your kid; read it for yourself.

Summary: Alexander's terrible day brings in a terriffic review!
Comment: Viorst does her best work on this children's book. It hits the High Quality Picture Book Criteria right on the head. Her use of illustrations are wonderfully clever, accurate and appropriate. A child can sit and listen to this book while exploring the illustrators creativity. The illustrations compliment the setting and the plot perfectly. While I read and evaluated the book, I admired all the great detail involved on every page. The pictures definately enhance the quality of the book. One can picture the story in their head easily due to the great extent of artwork involved. I found no biases of any sort. Along with the illustrations the plot and characters are life-like and believable. A child could definately rationalize and understand the story. Considering everyone has a bad day every now and then the theme is wonderful. Especially for a young child and even adults reflecting back on this story can be a stress reliever. I recommend this book because I feel that readers of all ages could relate to this book. It is very cleverly written and created. The language is appropriate for all therefore it can be enjoyed by all ages. The book (story line and illustrations) just flow. Sometimes you can't help but read it again! Alexander's bad day is assured to bring a smile to your face.
