Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst

4.0

The main reason that I think this book is so awesome is that it is so easy to relate to as a kid. Chances are, you're day was really not that bad. Yeah, maybe you woke up with gum in your hair (after you fell asleep with gum in your mouth) and your teacher does not dig your drawing of an invisible castle (which may just be a blank piece of paper) but chances are your day was reeeeeally bad. HOWEVER. Even though a lot of dumb things happened (some of which were your fault anyhow) you are crabby and miserable and 8 years old and now you are given a hero and a vocabulary for it. You can just scream, "I THINK I'LL MOVE TO AUSTRALIA," and your mom will know what you mean. She will comfort you and tell you that even Australians have bad days.
