None of this xylophone crap or X-Mas garbage. In this book, each letter has a personality, and little X is xeonophobic! He/she dislikes EVERYONE! How lovable!
There's another alphabet book that's fairly good, with nice illustrations and an interesting overall concept.
But even after looking up 'xystus' I can't quite decide what it means. There does seem to be a Dutch metal band with the same name.
And of course, my perrenial favorite: What Pete Ate from A-Z: Where We Explore the English Alphabet (In Its Entirety) in Which a Certain Dog Devours a Myraid of Items Which He Should Not.
Although I don't remember what Pete ate for X, and it was probably a xylophone. Oh well.
