 My favorite.Feb 26, 2010
This is my favortie children's book, of all time. I read it to children many, many times, while a librarian at our small town library.

 A Big Sourpuss!Feb 19, 2010
Alexander is a big sourpuss!
I was hoping he'll get better, but no, he starts off a grouch and he's still a grouch when the book ends.
Teaching kids to complain about pretty much everything? Oh my, that'll make them sound like adults with big issues.
If you like kind, nice, happy children who grow up to become nice, kind, happy adults, I suggest something more heartwarming like Corduroy (40th Anniversary Edition) or something where they can learn something they can use in the real world like Tickety Tock
Nobody likes a grouch--can we say annoying... Hey Alexander, go find a psychiatrist! Maybe one in Australia!
What happens to kids who grow up knowing hate, anger--well, adults who know hate, anger...
I've actually met people who are generally happy, hate? anger? (just rolls off their shoulders) I'd choose that over being negative... then they're stronger to handle whatever comes their way...
p.s. have you noticed the anger and hate in some people's postings of their opinions of reviews (look at the reviews that gave this book a 1)
Oh my goodness, they're just mean spirited! I knew these people shouldn't have read this book!
People, please be nice, this is just my humble opinion of this book and opinions are okay, no big deal, just let it roll of your shoulders, take a breath, smile and think happy thoughts.

DisappointedFeb 01, 2010
I did not receive this book. I paid, but have written and explained that I didn't get it. I have never had a problem with Amazon before.

Terrible Message.Jan 29, 2010
I purchased this for my grandkids, but they never saw it. My husband and I read the book and tossed it in the trash. There was no good message, no encouragement. I can't imagine what the writer was thinking. Absolute garbage. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
A favoriteJan 29, 2010
When a young boy is frustrated, treated unfairly or suffers from bad luck, he can turn to this book for comfort and a grin. The pictures are fun, the writing is very good and the story line is great. This is the title that got my 6 and 7 year olds hooked on Judith Viorst and other Alexander books.
