Illustrated by
Nadeem Zaidi.
Each letter of the alphabet introduces a familiar word represented in a large, well-reproduced image of a famous artwork (e.g., G is for the girls in Renoir's Reading). Some children may find the accompanying questions stimulating (e.g., "Can you find two snakes?"), but others may prefer to look without mediation. Baby Einstein's trademark garish cartoon characters disrupt the format.
