What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a cute and important book that is age-appropriate and safe for children. It addresses important topics without being offensive or in bad taste. Some reviewers appreciate the inclusion of diverse identities in the new/board book version. However, there are negative reviews stating that it is not the first thing kids should learn and that X is for X is silly. Overall, the book is seen as a positive and valuable addition to children's literature.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5From Ally to Intersex to Pan to Vogue, this rhyming alphabet book introduces terms mostly related to LGBTQ lives and culture, as a quartet of diverse kids hang out and play together. (Hope, Mountain and Unique are general intangibles.) A glossary in the back defines the terms. A couple of the rhymes don't work as structured but for parents and educators who want to instill inclusivity in their children, this is a good resource.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a nice little rhyming book and none of the letters were really stretched to make them fit the theme which I liked. I also like that they kept a cadence and saved more complicated definitions for the back glossary.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a cute little important book! For goodness sake, I'm so tired of the "protect your children", and "let them have a childhood" rhetoric. This book is super age appropriate, there is nothing offensive or in bad taste. Your children are in safe hands here. (Noted as well: there is a new/board book version that changes A from ally to A is for Aro or Ace, which is good, as aro/ace erasure is common. Thanks to the author/publisher for listening to the feedback, and correcting it!)
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The message is good, but a little is lost in the execution. Not wild about the illustrations, and some of the rhymes don't scan, which is a personal pet peeve for which I refuse to apologize.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I don’t think this is something that kids should be seeing at such a young age. This is awful.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Disgusting filth. Doctor Seuss is cancelled but we're gonna show this reprobate nonsense to kids? Repulsive
