I have read this book with various kids and they all enjoyed it. In this one, Little x feels worthless so he runs away and the other letter set off to bring him back. A cute story.
I wasn't a huge fan of the CGI-looking illustrations, but the story itself was good. The kids I read this with didn't mind the illustrations and were fascinated with the story about little letters.
Overall, a good book, but I think I liked Alphabet Adventure better.

I Now that my son can read and has access to library books through his school, I am being introduced all sorts of new to me authors and titles. One of these new to me books is Alphabet Mystery by Audrey Wood and illustrated by Bruce Wood.
Alphabet Mystery is the second of three books involving the letters of "Charlie's Alphabet." When they aren't needed by Charlie when he's at school, they live in a world of other alphabet letters (upper and lower case). In this book, the letter x has gone missing and the others don't know why.The remaining letters go on a quest to find the missing x. The journey takes them a haunted castle inhabited by a Monster M.
The solution to the mystery is unexpected given the horror film setting but it's charming and something Sean could relate to. We spent about a week talking about the book's ending so I consider the book a success.
The book is cute and brightly illustrated with 3D renders by Bruce Wood. Each page has a number of visual puns and other silliness to keep children and parents entertained for many readings.
