It was bedtime. Chris and his father sat side by side on
\nChris’s bed.
\n“Alexander was a pretty bad horse today,” Chris said.<\/p>\n

His father lit his pipe. “Alexander, the red horse with
\ngreen stripes?”
\nChris nodded.
\n“What happened?” Chris’s father asked.<\/em><\/p>\n

It seems Alexander has had a rough, rough day. But Chris’s father reassures him that “anybody can have a bad day once in a while” (even, it turns out, Chris), and still be able to look forward to being “wonderful” tomorrow.<\/p>\n

This charming vintage book feels extremely contemporary (well, except for that pipe), and is the perfect reminder that tomorrow is another day.<\/p>\n
