Winner:Georgia Children's Book Award -Picture Storybook (1977)
Alexander knew it was going to be a terrible day when he woke up with gum in his hair.

His best friend deserted him. There was no dessert in his lunch bag. And, on top of all that, there were lima beans for dinner and kissing on TV!

This handsome new edition of Judith Viorst's classic picture book is sure to charm readers of all ages.

I've been reading my son "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" a lot lately. It's 50 years old and still so weird / special / good. Tough feelings! No clearly formulated lessons! Unreliable narration! Wrote about it for @NewYorker https://t.co/qcHHuElQjg
