What a unique ABC book! It is fun and funky and has an eclectic collection of drawings for each letter.
LibraryThing member KimberlyRagsdale
beautiful! For each letter, pictures from the Metropolitan Museum of Art have been chosen. This would be a great art appreciation book on top of just an introduction to the alphabet. I think this is a fresh way to teach the ABC's compared to the regular...a is for apple, b is for boat, etc. etc.

The Museum ABC by the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a non-fiction informational book. For each letter of the alphabet, there are four paintings for young readers to find the item that starts with that letter. All the paintings are pictures that are on exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This
