Welcome to a world of extraordinary X-words with the imaginative “X is for Xanadu” poster. Because true X-words are wonderfully scarce, this collection celebrates both words that begin with X and words that contain it — transforming rarity into a delightful adventure. With 78 vintage and retro illustrations, this poster turns early vocabulary into a playful journey through history, mythology, science, animals, stones, tools, and unexpected treasures.

What awaits?

From axolotls and xylophones to galaxies, phoenixes, Excalibur, explorers, excavators, elixirs, and the elegant Xantus’s hummingbird, each illustration unlocks a small wonder waiting to be explored. Hang it above a desk, beside a bookshelf, or in a cozy reading nook to spark curiosity and joyful discovery every day.

The ideal gift!

“X is for Xanadu” makes a meaningful, personalized gift for any child whose name begins with X — or for any young learner who loves the unusual and extraordinary. Perfect for birthdays, holidays, or brightening a bedroom or classroom, it brings color, magic, and a sense of wonder to your child’s world of words.
