From childrens book legend Judith Viorst comes the perennially popular tale of Alexanders worst day. Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day is a story that belongs on every childs bookshelf. Alexander could tell it was going to be a terrible horrible no good very bad day. He went to sleep with gum in his mouth and woke up with gum in his hair. When he got out of bed he tripped over his skateboard and by mistake dropped his sweater in the sink while the water was running. He could tell it was going to be a terrible horrible no good very bad day. It was a terrible horrible no good very bad day. Nothing at all was right. Everything went wrong right down to lima beans for supper and kissing on TV. What do you do on a day like that Well you may think about going to Australia.
