Comments on: Top 100 Picture Books #8: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst, illustrated by Ray Cruz http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2012/06/18/top-100-picture-books-8-alexander-and-the-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-day-by-judith-viorst-illustrated-by-ray-cruz/ A School Library Journal Blog Sat, 18 May 2013 00:13:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Chris http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2012/06/18/top-100-picture-books-8-alexander-and-the-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-day-by-judith-viorst-illustrated-by-ray-cruz/#comment-816511 Chris Fri, 06 Jul 2012 15:09:48 +0000 http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/?p=13933#comment-816511 This is one of my 8 year old's absolute favorites. She cannot get enough of it. She laughs so hard when I read it, that my 14 year old has sauntered into the room to laugh along with it too. It captures something universal about the human condition, and it reassures kids that they are not alone in their misery. This is one of my 8 year old’s absolute favorites.

The newly published (slightly) "colorized" version is nice, as well, and may give it new life, esp w/kids who cannot abide a "black and white" book. One of my all time favorites.

I believe it was right before the deadline. Only to realized I'd forgotten to include Alexander. So happy he broke the top ten without me. In fact he made quite a climb up the ladder this time. WTG!
