Guide Review - Book Review: Alexander Who's Not (Do You Hear Me? I Mean It!) Going to Move
Alexander's father has a new job and the family must move a thousand miles away, but Alexander doesn't want to move away from his friends, favorite places, and everything familiar. Instead, he thinks about moving in with the neighbors or just living alone. Eventually, he gives in and packs his things.
Children will laugh at Alexander's older brother's teasing, while relating to how Alexander feels. Great book with a range of emotions that children will understand and enjoy. Robin Preiss Glasser's wonderful illustrations add to the story line and provide a skillful and fun representation of Alexander's life.
I highly recommend reading it aloud.
