My First ABC Read Free Books and Download eBooks
In this abridged board book edition of the successful hardcover picture book, Museum ABC, kids can learn their ABCs with the accompaniment of stunning artwork from The Metropolitan Museum of Art. A page is devoted to each letter of the alphabet and a single, memorable picture of the object is represented; for example, the classic "A is for APPLE" is accompanied by a well-known piece of art by Cezanne showing apples. Adults will love the visual and cultural richness of this alphabetical tour, which also includes details about each piece of art and its creator in the back. And with rounded edges and a smaller format, this is a perfect fit for younger children just learning the alphabet.

Such an awesome book. It is a nice size - not too big or too small. The entire alphabet is here with cute bits of famous masterpiece paintings for each letter. I love that an Index was included which tells you about every painting in the book as well. My son really enjoys looking at it page by page and he will point to his favorites (the C page is a favorite, because of the cat). He also takes a long time looking at "K" and "Q". A unique take on the many alphabet board books for babies floating around out there. I suspect my son will enjoy this book for years to come.My only complaint is the front cover, hence the 4-star rating. They did a die cut of the "ABC" and my son almost immediately bent the front cover due to the structural instability. Now there is a big bend mark through the die cut and it looks awful which is really a shame. I am also worried that because of the bend it will eventually tear half of the cover off or lose the cover entirely. It's too bad because this would make a great heirloom gift. I would recommend if they do any future press runs of this board book that they have a designer create a solid version of this cover for them.
I bought this on the recommendation of a friend, as a gift to someone who had helped me with something. He was becoming a grandfather for the first time. Because he is a new yorker I thought he would enjoy it was from the metropolitan. It is a beautiful book and sturdy. However, the color on the binding was scrapped off on arrival. It is more expensive than other board books I have purchased and yet this product is cheap and not suitable as a gift.
I got this for my baby's 1st birthday. He loves it! It's perfect for his age and he enjoys having it read to him over and over again. My only complaint is that the cover get all bent up and destroyed due to the A, B, and C cutouts. It's just not good to for a board book for little ones to have cutouts. Other than that, great little book to introduce books, quality art, and the ABC's to your little one!
This book is a nice departure from the many ABC books available to the young audience. Even if the children do not fully appreciate that these are famous paintings, I'm eager to expose them to visual representations other than photos and children's illustrations.
Interesting and a nice concept, but some of the art used may make it hard to tell what letter is being pictured. Thought it was good that they included descriptions of the art in the back of the book.
Such a great ABC book - so different from the usual books. The typical books are fine, but it is so nice to have something to expose little ones to something more. Children are quite capable of appreciating more than simple cartoon drawings and every day pictures. This is stunning - and the art and artists are noted in the back of the book.
This is a favorite read at our house - I love when my little girl want to read it because mom doesn't have to wade through cartoon illustrations or boring childish pictures. My daughter is captivated by these illustrations, too.
Hello, I ordered the book for my 1 year old nephew who lives in the USA and he is delighted with it. That is the reason I am giving the product a 5 star rating. It is the gift that one can enjoy teaching children what the letters of the alphabet are. The product arrived when it was expected which is always great to know.I would therefore recommend the book for others.Best wishes
