Oh, Alexander...I know how you feel. When I had to move from Central Mid High to Norman North High School, I hated giving up my room. My windows. My file cabinets. I threatened to stay and keep teaching ninth and tenth grade...from a mid high.
But, like Alexander, I sucked it up and I moved. And moving was good. Hard. But good.

This was a nice addition to the Alexander series. It opens up young readers to the idea that sometimes we don't want to do something, but when we do, we find out it's not nearly as bad as we thought; it might even be good!

I have loved Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day ever since I was a small child, and I have meant to read the other two Alexander books for a very long time, but could never seem to locate a copy. Well, I finally did. I'm not sorry I did; it's still Alexander, who's still being cutely grumpy. I didn't love it as much as Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day, but it was humorous, and actually perhaps teaches more lessons than Day, about friendship and memories and change and adjustment and family and related things. I think that this would be a good book for a child who is facing a family move, especially a dramatic/ long distance one. It's fun to read, but could also spur conversation on the topic. Definitely worth sharing with kids in your life.

I read this to a child where I volunteer (Reading Partners) and I really liked it. It's great for a kid who doesn't want to move away.

It was written almost 20 years after the original books and has a different artist. The illustrations are done in the style of the original but they are still obviously products of their time. Ditto the text. So there's this odd sense of forced nostalgia to this book -- instead of the over the top energy of the originals.
