Description
Book SynopsisFrom A to Z, the students of the Alphabet Academy are heading on a camping trip in this playful picture book, What About X? All the letters of the alphabet know exactly what to pack for their big camping trip. B is bringing binoculars. C is collecting canteens. But X can’t think of a thing to bring!

Illustrator Daniel Wiseman paints maximum personality into each character, underlining the idea that everyone is special and necessary—just like every letter of the alphabet!

Houppert creates plenty of fun along the way. As the high-energy characters make their decisions, even pre-readers may want to suggest their own additions to the trip. Fun for reading aloud. * Booklist *
Good-hearted and cheerful. * School Library Journal *
Colorful letters with expressive faces, spindly arms and legs, and a few character-defining accessories add to the book’s playfulness, with lots of details throughout to pore over on repeat reads. * Horn Book Magazine *
