 Unengaging January 7, 2009
Despite its great title and some good lines, this book remains a bit unengaging. Potential buyers should be aware that it is an extremely thin and relatively flimsy paperback with no color illustrations, only workman-like black and white sketches. Also, while the protagonist's complaints against the day are humorous and sometimes resonate, there is no real theme, much less moral. The book is adequate for light reading, but its unappealing appearance means that it is not for everyone. We were disappointed by this book, whose actual appearance we were not able correctly to envision online.
 A wonderful book in English or Spanish! September 28, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
A friend in a college language class (not Spanish I'm afraid) advised me that books familiar to us in English are one of the best ways to increase our vocabulary in our target language. I took her up on it then, and when both I and my niece enrolled in Spanish classes (I at the local community college, with tuition paid for by my employer; she in junior high), I purchased this book for her and some other books for myself.br /br /My family has always loved this Judith Viorst book in English. As well as having borrowing rights to Jerica's version, I own a copy of the original English, and find it downright cathartic to read when I've had a no good, terrible, horrible, very bad day. I have been known to purchase copies for friends after they've had no good,terrible, horrible,very bad days.br /br /The key to Alexander's survival in this story, in which he continuously stews about whether he should move to Australia to avoid such horror, is the knowledge that we all have such days sometimes...and it's OK. The perfect book for a kid (or adult) who's struggling with school, friends, siblings, learning a new language, or just about anything.br /br /Highly recommended, in any language.
Great addition to your library in Spanish July 25, 2001

This is a great book for those of us who want to raise our children bilingually and equally wonderful for Spanish-speakers. The Spanish is fun--I also love the repetition of "el dia terrible, horrible..." The fact that the names are not translated is fine--not all English names have a Spanish translation and vice-versa. I believe it keeps the integrity of the original version and the Alexander character.
ME VOY A AUSTRALIA ! June 21, 2001

Que dice un nino al que TODO le sale mal ? Me voy a Australia !. Los dibujos - en blanco y negro - estan esplendidamente ilustrados, la cara de Alexander es indescriptible por su picardia. Un libro para leer y ver con los hijos a la hora de dormir. Un libro alentador, especial para aquellos ninos dificiles
 Review of Alexander.... June 23, 2000
11 out of 14 found this review helpful
Overall, this was an excellent book. It does not differ much from the english version, and it is, as is the english, wonderfully illustrated. It is not perfect, however. I thought that it was well translated into spanish, however, the words are not as easily read and understood as the english version. Also, it was very disappointing to me that the character's names are the traditional, english names, and were not translated into their spanish cognates. That detracts from any feelings of non-ethnicity and partiality that good literature nees.
