A classic for all ages

I've loved this book since I was a tiny young thing--it is a great children's book, and gives some humor for anyone who's ever had a bad day.

Not Just for Children

This is not only one of the best children's books ever written, but it also has life lessons -- wittily presented -- for adults as well.
The phrase "even in Australia!" became our family's chorus -- the children and I chiming in together -- when something went wrong, and a reminder to keep things in perspective and in proportion.
Get this for the children in your life, but for yourself as well. The Tenth Good Thing About Barney

A Family Favorite

Who can't identify with Alexander as he bumps into one disaster after another? Is there anyone who has not considered, on such a day, a move to "Australia"? Alexander is beset at every turn and is so comforting to children who must so often feel the vagaries of life. How nice to know that somewhere on the planet is another soul who has no control of events either. Alexander is a book the children never tire of hearing and I never tire of reading.

Many uses

A great read-aloud, and also great for fostering emotional competency, giving "permission" to have a lousy day and to be a grump about it and to know that it happens to everyone. My kids love it!
