Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst

I really enjoyed Alexander since I was a little kid. I was thrilled to read it again. This book is very funny and pulls the reader into the story. The details in the text can really put a picture in the readers head without even looking at the picture that goes a long with the text. The one thing about that though is that the illustrations are so detailed and unique that they also play into the readers imagination. The one thing I believe this book does is relate to it's readers extremely well. This book reminds us of each bad day we have had and how no matter what happens things can always turn around and get better. Children I have worked with have always enjoyed this book because they don't want to go on but want to tell me something that happened similar to them in their own lives. It is a great read for anyone because everyone wants to know what will keep happening during his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day!
