Ray Cruz Knihy

From the moment Alexander climbs out of bed one morning, it seems as if nothing will go his way. He drops his sweater in the sink, his teacher doesn't appreciate his clever ideas, and there's no dessert in his lunch. Just when he thinks the day couldn't get any worse, his mom whisks him and his brothers off to the dentist. And guess who's the only one to have a cavity? This unforgettable tale is a funny, gentle reminder that everyone has bad days now and again. Ray Cruz's detailed line drawings perfectly capture the perpetually scowling Alexander, while Judith Viorst's amusing story creates a lovable and relatable grump.

Last Sunday, Alexander's grandparents gave him a dollar -- and he was rich. There were so many things that he could do with all of that money! He could buy as much gum as he wanted, or even a walkie-talkie, if he saved enough. But somehow the money began to disappear... Readers of all ages will be delighted by this attractive new edition of Judith Viorst's beloved picture book.

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. What do you do on a day like that? Well, you may think about going to Australia. You may also be glad to find that some days are like that for other people too.
