review 1: Having small children and having read a TON of books on the alphabet it was refreshing to read a different spin on things. I loved that X wanted to change things but after a night of quiet reflection came to his senses. It was educational and showed that different letters can be used different ways. I thought it taught more than just the alphabet (and grammar rules), but other things such as if you want something to change then it's okay to stand up. It's also okay to back down when you realize that nothing actually needs to be changed. So refreshing! Thank you for changing it up.
review 2: The Letter X is quite discontent with his placement in the alphabet. He stirs up trouble and mischief in Alphabet City trying to rally the other letters to his cause. Eve... morentually he contemplates (or has nightmares about) all the responsibility each letter has. He realizes that there is a purpose to everyone and that maybe he should be happy with who, and where, he is. The illustrations are hilarious, look closely at them as each letter sports several things that begin with that letter; for example "P" is a "pirate" in a "pool" and "B" has a "beard" and is wearing a "beanie" while "bouncing" a "ball". A fun and very informative book. So many grammar rules are covered that it could've been confusing, yet in this story-format it made learning fun and easy. less
