No parent or teacher wants to shell out for a book that it is a nightmare to read. Whatever the reason, Alexander is one of those books that strikes a (minor) chord.Ĭhildren's literature is a really tricky thing to sell because it actually has a dual audience: the kids who are supposed to love it and the adults who are supposed to buy it.
