Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst
Summary: As Alexander's day progresses, he faces a day full of incidents that make him crabby. Some of the incidents include: getting smushed in the middle seat of the car, a dessertless lunch sack, a cavity at the dentist's office, stripeless sneakers, and every young child's worst fear, witnessing kissing on television! When he feels like his life is full of hard times, he says he wants to move to Australia.
