Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst
(one of my all-time favorite children’s books)
Alexander hates:
Train PJs, TV kissing,
And gum in his hair,
No cereal prize,
Plain sneakers, and soapy eyes.
He loves: Australia.

Australians bite
Their tongues and have bad days too?
Might as well stay here.

I’ve heard of this book,
But I have never read it –
I probably should!

unstable with all the software I had installed on it.
