Overview of book:
We’ve all had very bad days and of course children do too. Alexander is having one of those days where nothing seems to go right.  His day is just is one long string of ‘horribleness’ as he gets crunched into the middle seat, mom packs a lunch sack (without desert), a visit to the dentist gets him a cavity. Alexander is a cranky little boy who simply needs to go to Australia to make it all better.
Highly recommended/Recommended/Not Recommended:
Highly recommend. Very funny, great message and beautifully illustrated. A book that everyone will relate to.
