Alexander, Who's Trying His Best to Be the Best Boy Ever

My 4yo fell in love with Horrible Day, so I figured he would enjoy this title. It hasn’t been quite the hit I expected. There are more words per page, he wants to turn to the next picture before I can finish reading. It might be one we have to grow into.

These books are a joy to read and my son loved them growing up and now I'm buying them for his daughter who just loves them.

I bought it for 4 yr old,probably better for an older child but he likes It and the other Alexander book. Good message for kids.

Been using this for my mental health practice and most of it works well.... I just wish it had a better ending. Sure its funny... but the ending doesn't match the lesson I want the kids to learn. Instead of giving up and just hiding them somewhere else? Not what I hoped for.

Perfect story. My kid loves it

This is a good story. My son really liked it and so did I.

Bought this book for my 5 year old. She likes it well enough, but I’m not a fan for a couple reasons.1) Wordiness: It was excessively wordy in a way that made it difficult/not fun to read. Maybe the author was simply trying to make the book longer.2) Models bad behaviors: Alexander is not a good boy. I realize it’s supposed to be fun, but the book introduces ideas that I don’t care for my child to learn.

My 4 year old loves it. Not a bad book if you have to read them over and over ......

Excellent! Thank You

Love Alexander books...second time in buying these stories..my son and now my grandson

Judith Viorst has done it again! This Alexander is as good as all the previous ones.
