Alphabet Mystery

I loved the book "Alphabet Mystery." This book could be used for so many different ways. I would read this book to kindergarten or first grade. The book is about the alphabet and letter x runs away because no on ever really uses him and he feels left out. So the rest of the alphabet go to look for him. When they find him and make him come home he was so happy. When he got back home they were making a birthday cake and the used letter x a lot because they put xoxoxo on the cake to represent love. This book would first be could when working with children with alphabet recognition. The children can point out the letters and some words that the letters are used in. Another good thing about this book is you could dicuss with students how it show more feels to be left out or not played with alot. I really think that this would be an amazing book for any teacher to have, and I know that the students would love it! show less

Every night Charlie’s little letters tuck themselves into bed. But one night there is a letter missing. So the others jump onto a flying pencil and take off in search of the lost little x.

Young readers will enjoy this enchanting exploration of the alphabet as they travel along with the little letters in search of the missing little x. The bright, bold illustrations will charm beginning readers as the engaging story unfolds. Learning the alphabet has never been so much fun!

Highly recommended.

Trouble ensues when little x runs away because Charlie isn't using him enough. A cute idea that's well-executed. This team's Alphabet Adventure was a dud, but this and Alphabet Rescue are a fun, different take on the abc genre.

... (Poor little "x") Charley's mom's birthday is coming up and little "x" is missing. (Oh, no!) TIME TO FIND LITTLE "x", ASAP!! The little letters climb up on the magic flying pencil and fly away. They spot a castle and go inside. In the castle, they meet crooked Capital "I" and gigantic capital "M".

The letters finally find little "x" inside the castle. He is tap-dancing on a xylophone. Little "x" felt excluded because Charley never uses little "x". He tells them "I'm a worthless letter back home. At least here I have a job." The letters convince "x" to come home. Before they leave, the little "x" convinces "M" and "I" to come home show more with them to help make a fantastic birthday for Charlie's mother.

Safe at home.
On the birthday cake, the letters lay down reading "I love you Mom". At the bottom, "x" is used FOUR TIMES! FOUR TIMES! He feels so special. He barely gets used at all. (But FOUR TIMES! WOW!)

Every one/letter is just as important as the next.

Great book for children who are mastering the alphabet along with capital vs. lower case. Children learn that the letter "x" may not be used as much as the other letter, however "x" can stand for kisses. (Teachers/parents can go into deeper meaning on why "x" stands for kisses along with "o" stands for hugs). show less

The mystery of the missing letter X. The letter X was feeling useless and underused. But he was greatly missed by his alphabet family. This book is a pretty good way to help children recognize letters and everyday object that are associated with them. The book also shows the children that there is a place for all the letters of the alphabet.

Kids love this book! Little "x" has gone missing and all of the other letters have to find him. The story is loaded with things to look for and notice - a great read aloud! The illustrations are computer-generated, with a Pixar feel. This is very appealing for kiddos.
