Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day [Hardcover]

He 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.

You may also be glad to find that some days are like that for other people too.Judith Viorst is the author of the belovedAlexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, which has sold some four million copies; the Lulu books, includingLulu and the Brontosaurus; theNew York TimesbestsellerNecessary Losses; four musicals; and poetry for children and young adults.
