We all have favorite story books from our childhood, what are your favorites and why?
One story i particularly love is; "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day", written by Judith Viorst.
For those unfamiliar with the story; the book is about a young boy named Alexander who goes about his day from start to finish finding difficulties in his entire day.
I have personally used this book to teach young children that it is ok to express themselves even when having negative feelings. I find this book to be a good teacher of feeling words for young children. I also find this book to be a great resource for parents as well, in reminding ourselves that, ""yes" children have bad day too! sometimes we need to look past behaviors and see children's feelings.
