Chris is a little boy who can't do anything wrong. It's not Chris who spills milk, breaks toys, and jumps on the living-room couch. It's Alexander, the imaginary red horse with green stripes.

Alexander's bad day, and what Chris and his father do about it, makes a delightful story that is sure to enchant all readers. Its quiet humor, warmth, and simplicity will bring pleasure wherever there are children with imaginations and parents with understanding.
