The Met ABC

An Alphabet Book of Art

Part of DK The Met

Author DK
An aspirational board book combining early learning concepts with paintings from New York's The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Discover your ABCs at the museum! Little ones can discover the alphabet through paintings.

I went to the museum, and I saw...

Featuring artists from Monet to Munch, young readers can learn the alphabet while discovering some of the world's most well-known paintings. Developed in collaboration with the Met, 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, so children can discover apples with Cézanne, poppies with Demuth, and waves with Hokusai.

Each book will have an image of a piece of art, a letter and a headword, and a question prompt for something to spot in the painting, helping the child to observe and relate the artwork to their own experience. With a fun refrain and a memory game at the end, this is a 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.
