Alexander and the Terrible – From the children’s book legend Judith Viorst comes the perennially well-known tale of Alexander’s most awful day ever. Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is a tale that should be to every child’s bookcase.
Alexander could sense that the day was going to turn out as a very bad horrendous, awful, no good and very unpleasant day. He went to bed and had gum stuck in his mouth, and got up with gum stuck in his hair. As he got up from his bed, he fell over his skateboard, and accidentally dropped his sweater into the sink as the water was flowing. It was clear that this was going to turn out to be horrible awful, terrible, bad extremely bad day.
It was a horrible awful, terrible, no good terrible day. Everything was wrong. Everything was wrong, from the lima beans that were served for dinner, and a kiss on the television.
What can you do on the day that’s like that? It is possible that you be thinking about moving to Australia. It might be nice to know that there are days that are the same for others as well.
