Reddit reviews Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

I think it was supposed to be a "witty" reference? Still bad though.

apparently...

yeah, like this

Yeah, I second the book idea. Not totally unique but I think three to five books for kids that you loved when you were a child or that your child loves are great. That's what I always go with and that's what we used to do when I would go shopping with my mom. My faves that aren't super obvious (i.e. not "Good Night Moon") are Jamberry, Jesse Bear What Will You Wear (that's my name, so, I loved it, obviously), Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (huge hit for me and later for my sis, which would make sense if you know the plot), Snow Day, and Happy Birthday Moon.

If you want to go absolute classics, these are some of my faves: The Very Hungry Caterpillar, In the Night Kitchen, The Giving Tree, and Harold and the Purple Crayon (Probably my favorite children's book of all time).

Hope that helps!

those meddling kids For my son For me Thanks for the contest.

I devoured the Magic Treehouse series when I was younger. I thought it was so great that they went to all these cool places (and they were very easy to read chapter books, so I flew through them!) :)

Edit: I ran a Reading Buddies program at the local library and a couple of our younger readers really liked them because the writing style is simple, but interesting. There are new words, but nothing terribly difficult and since the main characters are the same throughout, it's easy to follow :)


In terms of other books, I thought all of these were great:

1. Dr Seuss
   
2. Shel Silverstein
   
3. Alexander
   
4. Amelia Bedelia
   
5. Frog and Toad
   
6. Henry and Mudge
   
7. Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus
   
   Those were all pretty popular with my kids (and with me)! :)

might this be it? http://www.amazon.com/Alexander-Terrible-Horrible-Good-Very/dp/0689711735

Laugh - You have to laugh at yourself at times. It really works for me.

A good book that I recommend is from elementary school is "https://www.amazon.com/Alexander-Terrible-Horrible-Good-Very/dp/0689711735/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495310830&sr=8-1&keywords=No+good+very+bad+day"

Really worth reading through a couple of times.

This reminds me of a book I read for my daughter at bedtime: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. There's a line where he complains about his teacher saying he skipped 16 when he was counting, and he says "who needs 16?"
