Here’s the book list I was dreading… letter X! But when I decided not to subject you to a list of books all about xylophones and X-rays (you’re welcome), I found a great number of books that featured the letter X within words, which is how we use it most of the time anyway. I must admit, though, that I did break one of my alphabet book list rules. Normally my book lists are comprised of books my kids and I truly love.
I couldn’t be quite so particular with Letter X.
Can you forgive me this one time?
Don’ worry – there are some favorites in here too.

Maybe you should also check out the book “Xander’s Panda Party” by Linda Sue Park to add to this list.

No a Box is another good one

Thanks, Jenny!

To add to your stories for “X,” please consider Introductory Calculus For Infants. It is an absolutely adorable story. The only flaw I can think of isn’t with the story but with the available format so far in that it’s not very physically durable for reading with babies or little kids. I would love it if they released an edition that at least had a thicker cover with heavier pages, if not card stock or a board book. Story wise, though, it’s great.

Thanks for the recommendation, Katherine! I always review the books before I include them, and our library doesn’t have this one. But I’ll keep an eye out for it – it got lots of great Amazon reviews!

Thanks for the book ideas and your comments on them. Another book to recommend is My Cat Likes to Hide In Boxes by Eve Sutton and Lynley Dodd
Anna Geiger
Great, addition, Kim! I might have to add that in some day. It was actually a favorite book in our house when I was growing up.

What a great list! I’ve been trying to think of ideas and books for letter X and this is a great place to start.

X is definitely a tough letter! We’re almost done with it — next week I’ll post some crafts, math ideas, and ways to practice writing it.

X would be totally challenging. I was waiting to see what you would come up with! lol I laughed when I read what you said about cardboard boxes. I used to LOVE playing with cardboard boxes. Now, I would like them removed from my dining room! lol I have to admit that we are big, big fans of Fox and Sox. I take it on as a challenge – although I agree, it’s quite lengthy. Darn, noodle eating poodles!
Thanks for linking into the Kid Lit Blog Hop. 🙂

I’m glad you like the tongue twisters — Maybe some day I’ll learn to appreciate Fox in Socks 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting! Now that the kids are in bed maybe I can sneak the cardboard boxes out to recycling…

Love it. I want My Mum Has Xray Vision, ( to get some tips lol) We are currently quite obsessed with any books that point out the ABC’s so great recommendations. We have Hattie and The Fox, and it is much loved. Thanks for a huge effort at the X’s and for linking in to the Kid Lit Blog Hop.
