The Spanish version of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good Very Bad Day, by Judith Viorst. Words are basic Spanish, and easy to understand for a beginner in foreign language. Reading a favorite in Spanish will help the student learn words they might not know because they know the story so well in English. Alexander starts the day off on a bad foot. He went to sleep with gum in his mouth and now there's gum in his hair, and when he got out of bed this morning he tripped on the skateboard, and by mistake he dropped a sweater in the sink while the water was running. Will his luck change, or is it going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day?
