Because EVERY kid has a bad day now and then!
I used this book in my kindergarten and early elementary classes, and the children really relate to Alexander. It seems to give them permission to talk about their "bad days" instead of acting out their distress, and I like to read this book when one of my students is having a tough time following the rules, then talk with the class about what we can do when we feel distressed, without spreading our suffering around. It is good discussion starter with a light enough tone to make it palatable to young students.Verified purchase: Yes
