5 Star Rating  "What Fun"2008-09-27
- Reviewed By User: A23MCMSUVES5IG
This is a book that children can't help but chuckle when they it is read. It's just fun and Alexander is so loveable like another character,Cyrano in Life's Little Lessons: An Inch-By-Inch Tale of Success, another fabulous piece of children's literature with inspiring messages,laughs and a great bonus reading guide for parents and teachers. Check this out.
 
2 Star Rating  "Nothing positive"2008-09-24
- Reviewed By User: A23D55W8DFZ0AY
I'm sorry...I know that we all have bad days. I understand that, but there is nothing positive about this book. I thought there would be something that changed that would cause him to have a good day. I guess the title says it all. But my seven year old nephew did like the book.
 
5 Star Rating  "A great book for a childs bad day!"2008-09-21
- Reviewed By User: A1BEDQXQIAYE06
A wonderful, fun book to lighten the mood. My daughter loves to read this. I use the phrase with my eight year old daughter: "some days are like this..." (my daughter always smiles and finishes with: "even in Australia" for me. Cheers her up every time. We read it often and have for a while. It helps that her name is Alexandra.
 
5 Star Rating  "No good, Very bad, DAY!"2008-09-08
- Reviewed By User: A31EVVBXMXLB06
This is a childhood favorite of mine explaining the life of a child who is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day! He goes through why he is having this terrible day and at the ending there is a little surprise. Very good for younger children, even some older children. Great to read in a classroom!
 
4 Star Rating  "Everyone Can Be Grumpy"2008-08-30
- Reviewed By khensen11
Everyone can be grumpy (even some reviewers of this book).

This book takes you through the day of a crabby boy. There is no moral of the story, nothing redeeming or enlightening happens at the end to save the day.

That's where the parent/care taker has to step in. This book has less value as a "read it and tuck you in" story than as a "read it and talk about it" story. How do you deal with being crabby? Are you going to be crabby all day? What can you do throughout the day so you don't wake up crabby and go to bed grumpy like Alexander? Don't expect every book/toy to do all of the work for you. Sometimes the best stories are those that open up an ongoing dialog beyond the pages.
 
4 Star Rating  "Is there a Grumpus Among Us?"2008-07-29
- Reviewed By User: A3PJZ8TU8FDQ1K
This is a solid pick in my boys' bedtime reading collection.

I've found the trick to reading this book at bedtime is to tackle it as one long sentence with breathless pacing, punctuated by exasperated gasps and groans. My kids giggle with delight as Alexander grumps through his day, complaining about every perceived slight or wound as though their sum could prove to be fatal.

The added bonus is that this book gives a name to my sons' occasional lapses. When they are feeling miserable I only need ask, "Are you having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day?"

And that usually brings a smile.


 
5 Star Rating  "It Was Fun, Bad Day Or Not"2008-07-26
- Reviewed By User: A2FIWPXH5J1JH1
I've seen some of the other reviews and how this book is too negative. I liked it! Things don't always so as planned, but this book offers a refreshing and funny way to introduce that concept to your child. The pictures are great and the message is clear that despite everything being topsy-turvy, it'll be allright and we'll make it through. I recommend this book. Another book I like and read to my son is "Ladybug Baby Bug", by Janice and Mark Perkins, which is all good. For those that thought this book was too negative, try it for it's positive family message and colorful illustrations.
 
1 Star Rating  "No redeeming qualities to this book"2008-06-30
- Reviewed By User: A1SVQ3U72FDUFY
I thought, after reading the description and some of the reviews, that at least there would be something positive to counteract Alexander's bad experiences throughout the day. The only trace of anything positive is at the very end of the book when it mentions that even in Australia some days are bad too.

This child has everything going wrong for him, from the time he got up in the morning...gum in hair, tripped on his skateboard, didn't get a toy in his breakfast cereal when his brothers did. He thinks he'll move to Australia.

On the way to school he doesn't get a window seat. At school the teacher liked someone else's picture of a sailboat over Alexander's invisible castle (he didn't draw anything). He left out the number 16 at counting time. He "could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day."

And on it goes. So far, his complaints are fairly innoculous. This kind of stuff can happen to any kid, but his behavior begins escalating into bad behavior. "I hope you sit on a tack, I said to Paul. I hope the next time you get a double-decker strawberry ice-cream cone the ice cream part falls off the cone part and lands in Australia."

More everyday "bad" stuff happens to him--he didn't get dessert in his lunch, a trip to the dentist reveals a cavity. Then at the car his brother made him fall and his other brother calls him a crybaby--so he punches him.

He makes a mess at his father's office. He hates lima beans (served at dinner). He hates kissing (saw it on TV). Bath was too hot. Soap in his eyes. Hates his pajamas. Goes to bed thinking of his terrible day, and his mom assures him some days are like that, even in Australia.

The whole thing is so negative. He's a grouch. Why should I read this to my child? (too late, I already did, but never again)
 
1 Star Rating  "What a negative book"2008-06-20
- Reviewed By User: A3NMSYRH1M935U
Already from the title you can tell this is a very negative book. I agree that everyone has bad days sometimes, but do you really have to look at such a negative book to make them better? I find it depressing and on a bad day it actually would make me feel worse.
 
5 Star Rating  "A great way to soothe the bruises of life with your child!"2008-06-19
- Reviewed By User: ASOTPTFQ0IZ99
My children just loved this story and who doesn't think they want to run away at one time or another? It is a day that each of us have and even the little one next to you understands that. The pen and ink illustrations are fantastic. I used to buy them by the dozen and stack them in the hall closet because it always seemed one of the kids friends was having a birthday. It saved me loads of time from running around for gifts all the time and all I had to do was open the closet (they take up such little space) and wrap!People Are So Different!
