It also wasn't Alexander's birthday in the book, and the things he hated about the day were far less outrageous, instead largely being mundane annoying situations that could happen to any kid, like being ignored by other kids during recess, having a cavity found by the dentist, not enjoying the vegetables at dinner, and a nightlight burning out.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The four Cooper siblings are divided into this. Emily is the kind and friendly nice, Anthony is the rude and immature BigBrotherBully mean and Alexander and Trevor are both the in-between as the former is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and the latter can be an AnnoyingYoungerSibling at times but he's still harmless.
