Alexander

It was bedtime. Chris and his father sat down side by side on Chris's bed. They talked of Chris's friend Alexander, the red horse with green stripes. <br>"Alexander was a pretty bad horse today," Chris said. "He wouldn't eat his cereal. He wouldn't sit up at the table and he spilled his milk." <br>"That's too bad," said Chris's father. "What else happened?" <br>The ensuing conversation of Alexander's bad day makes for an entertaining read, along with its priceless ending.<br> Originally published in 1964.
