Alexander and the Wonderful, Marvelous, Excellent, Terrific Ninety Days [Feb. 27th, 2008|02:14 pm] He-e-e-e's back!!  That  little boy from the children's book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day has come home - with his wife, baby, toddler, and 5-year-old Olivia!. For real!  Alexander is the youngest son of author Judith Viorst.    While their home gets remodeled, the so-called Alexander Five (and all the stuff that accompanies a family with young children)  come to stay for several months in the home where he grew up.  In usual Viorst fashion, the experieince is described with humor, compassion and insight in Alexander and the Wonderful, Marvelous, Excellent, Terrific Ninety Days by Judith Viorst (306.87 V798 New).  From toddler tantrums to Olivia's charming questions ("Are Louie Armstrong and Lance Armstrong brothers?"), life in the Viorst household is happily turned upside-down and inside-out for "ninety wonderful, marvelous, unforgettable days" - with the velvet on the chairs still intact.  Grandmas and Grandpas will love this one.  link post comment
