Review: XO, OX: A Love Story

XO, OX: A Love Story by Adam Rex
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

This is part of my 365 Kids Books challenge. For a fuller explanation see my review for 101 Amazing Facts about Australia You can see all the books on their own shelf. The Reviewers seemed to run correctly last week, but didn't run this week at all, and the Readers list hasn't been fixed at all. I guess algorithm don't care. Looking at the beta pages, algorithm loves stars.

Ox writes a fan letter to supermodel Gazelle declaring his love for her. She sends back a form letter and a signed picture. He writes back again misconstruing her message. He continues to send her letters praising her many virtues and telling her why he loves her based. And when she specifically asks this stranger to stop writing to her, he doesn't.

So she falls in love with him?

WTF?

Alternatively, this is just a cute story about some watercolor animals falling in love.
