Alexander, Who's Not (Do You Hear Me? I Mean It!) Going to Move

Our 6yr old really didn't want to move. This book has helped him feel understood and cope with the emotions.

This was very much in the wonderful style of the other two Alexander books. The poor boy can't seem to catch a break. His two older brothers always seem to get what they want and poor Alexander is left without. Does that sound like your little guy or little girl ever? I know mine go through phases where it's the worst day of their lives.In this book, Alexander has to move, so some may feel it's only good for children moving. It would be wonderful for that, but my son enjoys it just as much as the other 2, even though he's never moved at all. We actually get to see that he recognizes that his parents have some sympathy for him, by offering to buy him a dog and make long distance calls to his friends. I liked this, because it shows that maybe the move won't be so bad at all.So, if you enjoyed "Alexander's Terrible, Horrible, Mixed Up, Really Bad Day" and "Alexander, Who Used to be Rich Last Sunday", go ahead and round out your collection. Get this one too. You won't be disappointed.

Her book, Alexander and the Horrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is a classic and as a classroom teacher of 15 years I have read it a zillion times. Always a huge hit with the kids.Fast forward a few years and I find myself moving again and decided to read this book to my own children. The pouty main character who is absolutely NOT moving is easy to love and identify with. This book made the idea of a move much easier to talk about with my own kids.Fun for any reason, but a must for a family of young children getting ready to move.

My son figured out on the back of the Alexander booms there are pictures of the other Alexander books. So one night he asked me to get him the rest of the ones he did not have.This is a good book. It's a bummer Alexander has to move and start his life over.

This is a winner, like the others by this author. One of the few books that I read my kids that they love and I also enjoy.

Arrived promptly. Although I have not read the entire book as of this time, I will refer to it when needed. Have a healthy, prosperous and Happy New Year!

The Alexander series represents classic children's books. This one (as with the others) is one to which small children can easily relate. When your children grow, don't give away these books.

All my kids want to move to Australia now great leading for a geography lesson

This was a great book to have on hand when we moved. My son Alex appreciated how hard it was and it helped us all sympathize with each other.

fun

Another great alexander book.

This is just a bad book. Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day was my favourite childhood book and all time and Do You Hear Me is something that I tried to read to my little one and I couldn't get through it. I then read it on my own and now it's in a box. Some things are better left unsaid.

Great! Thanks!

Good book

This is a great book for kids who are moving. Viorst does an excellent job of showing how to leave well. It's great for pre-schoolers and elementary aged kids. I use it with Middle Schoolers, too, and they wind up being big fans.
