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

I skipped the Steve Carell/Jennifer Garner movie a few years ago, but the book version of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day ($8), originally published in 1972, still makes me laugh with its run-on sentences and silly situations. It's great for kids of all ages who occasionally have their own very bad days.
