Book Reviews of Museum ABC
Book Review: Great keepsake book
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is wonderful gift for children ages 2 and up. Age 2 children (like my son) will enjoy counting the apples on the A page, for example. Some of the art includes complex scenes that school-age children may enjoy losing themselves in. The book helps teach children about art and the alphabet in an intelligent, non-cutesy fashion. Each letter has a two-page layout: one page is: "[Letter] is for [one word]" in large type, and the second page is four different artistic intrepretations of that word, like: an Egyptian mural, a Japanese woodblock print, a Renaissance canvas, and nineteenth century French painting. What a refreshing change from cartoonish, character-based children's books!Book Review: Almost perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
This is really a great book and a great alphabet learning tool for toddlers. The letters are all presented in very large print and the art is very lovely. It's a good, unique book for a child since most other ABC books only have very basic pictures rather than famous masterpieces. The only complaint I have is that "M is for Monster". The monsters are not the Sesame Street variety, but are actually kind of creepy-looking beasts. Not the best choice for young children. We always sort of skip the letter M.Book Review: Two in One Book
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a great book for kids to learn their ABC's and to begin art appreciation. Each letter has different pictures to go with it representing a word that starts with the letter of the the alphabet. There is a wide varitey of pictures in the book. Great book for young kids.Book Review: my toddler loves this book!

this is our first alphabet book. my 16-month-old loves to identify the objects in the paintings. it's a beautiful book. since it really is good for kids younger than the suggested 4-year-old range, i left off half a star b/c it would be ideal if it were a board book.Book Review: Great idea, but...
Summary: 2 Stars
The implementation lacks something to be desired. Maybe a version 2 will be better.
