Alexander, Who's Trying His Best to Be the Best Boy Ever by Judith Viorst illustrated by Isidre Mones

Alexander wakes up with a stomach ache on a Saturday morning.  It just may be because he ate an entire box of doughnuts the previous night.  Since his mother discovered the hidden empty box, he must suffer the consequences.  By the end of the day, he vows to his family that his going to try to be the best boy ever.
This book shares how he attempts to be the "best boy ever" in a week's span.
Like how Alexander is the only object in the illustrations that is colored.

Points to discuss/warning: He is not very sorry for what he did and at the end, one concludes, he has not learned his lesson!!  Brothers call him a "fool".
