I bought this book for my four year old daaughter because we both loved Alphabet Adventure so much. The story centers on little x this time. He decidedes to run away because he is a letter that isn't used very much. All of the other letters embark on an adventure to bring him home. This book is especially perfect for this time of year. There is a spooky castle and a monster M that evokes images of Halloween. At the end of the story little x realizes that he is a very special letter after all. Children love the idea of a mystery and the illustrations in this book are really wonderful. Everytime you read it you will see something new. My daughter especially loves the page where the letters match up to an object that they begin with. My daughter has learned a lot from this book and Alphabet Adventure. I highly recommend them both.

My first grade class absolutely love this book. The illustrations are amazing. I have to order a new copy for my classroom this year because the pages are falling out of my old copy from being read so much. I highly recommend this book.

My 3 1/2 year old nephew loves this book. Little "x" is missing, and his alphabet friends fly off on a pencil to find him. X feels neglected in the real world, and he has found a home playing the xylophone for the "M" master. X's alphabet friends convince him to come home where he becomes the "X" kisses on mother's birthday cake. I'm pretty sure that most of this went right over my nephew's head, but he loves the bright colors, knew "X" was the missing letter, and enjoyed counting the kisses at the end. And and we both loved the illustrations!

The book arrived quickly in excellent condition. It is cleverly written with beautiful illustrations. My son adores it!

My 2 year old son is obsessed with the alphabet so he was so thrilled to see a book that treats letters like cartoon characters. When we first got the book, he wanted me to read it with him at least 3 times a day. If your child loves letters, they will love this book.

Alphabet Mystery is a delightful and richly illustrated book telling the story of Charley's lower case alphabet who discover that one of their letters is missing! The alphabet must go in search of their friend and so their adventure begins. Not only do the rest of the letters use clues to find their missing friend, but also find out why he was missing. With the help of some new upper case characters they solve their friend's problem and create a wonderful surprise for a very special person. Not only does Alphabet Mystery show us how much fun we can have with letters, but also the importance of friendship and the value of each individual in a group.

My four year old loves all three books in this series. I had been working on his alphabet before I purchased these books. After reading these books night after night, it just clicked with him. He now knows all of his abc's. This one was my favorite.

I shared this book with my three grandchildren, twins (ages 5) and (age 3).... It was a mega hit. I also teach at a University and will share this book with our children's literature faculty!

My 3 year old son loves this book. He has already learned his uppercase letters, so this book is great for teaching the lowercase letters that he is still quite unfamiliar with. The story is very cute, and he is hooked on it! We checked this one (along with Alphabet Adventure and Alphabet Rescue) out at our local library and he loved it so much that we bought them.

I would highly recommend this book (and the other two!) to anyone with preschool/kindergarten children.

The most creative of all fantasy/adventure plots flung into... an alphabet book, of all things. This is truly an amazing story via its CGI characters and complex plot of little letters trying to solve a mystery.
