This is a great book to start exposing them to classical art, while reinforcing the alphabet. I love that he searches for other objects that start with the same letter, and he even different letters. A great TV program that also exposes them to art, classical music, culture, travel as well as learning basic development is Little Einstein's.

I bought this as a gift for my children's' classroom. The book is printed on nice, thick paper and features some of the most beautiful and prolific pieces of art. We will be doing a project based on one of the works in this book this spring.
