Discover your ABCs at the museum! Little ones can learn the alphabet through art

I went to the museum and I saw…

Featuring artists from Gustav Klimt to Vincent van Gogh, young readers can learn the alphabet while discovering some of the world’s most well-known paintings and intricate textiles. Developed in collaboration with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Met ABC is guaranteed to spark a lifelong love of learning and art appreciation.

Each page features a famous artwork from The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection, a letter, and a headword. A memory game at the end of the book reinforces learning. Children can discover apples with Cézanne, dance lessons with Degas, and waves with Hokusai. It’s the baby art book series that grown-ups will love, too.
We believe in the power of discovery. That's why we create books for everyone that explore ideas and nurture curiosity about the world we live in.
 
From first words to the Big Bang, from the wonders of nature to city adventures, you will find expert knowledge, hours of fun and endless inspiration in the pages of our books.
