Caramel is reading Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, written by Judith Viorst and illustrated by Ray Cruz. And I like it because it’s kind of funny. I like it and I don’t like it.Ĭ: The reason I don’t like it is because it is sad for him. I know you actually have some mixed feelings about this book. I guess here in this blog we should not admit to too many family secrets. And we never pushed each other into the mud. But you and Marshmallow also fight sometimes, right?Ĭ: But it’s rare. He should not have pushed Alexander into the mud.

And his brother makes him fall down in the mud, and when he punches him, he gets caught and his mom scolds him. His friends all get nice desserts in their lunch boxes, and he gets nothing for dessert. We all have bad days sometimes.Ĭ: And his is especially bad. I sympathize with him.Ĭ: I sometimes have bad days too. S: So the whole book is about this very bad, no good day, right?Ĭ: Yeah. And then both his brothers get toys from their morning cereal and he only finds cereal in his box. His jacket falls into the sink while the water is still running and gets all wet. So why is Alexander’s day a bad one?Ĭ: He trips on his skateboard, and he had gum in his mouth when he fell asleep, so when he gets up, it is in his hair.Ĭ: There’s more.

I read the book a few times, and we also just read it together last night, didn’t we Sprinkles? Sprinkles: Why don’t you start by telling us what this book is about Caramel?Ĭaramel: There is this boy named Alexander.
