ABC: The Museum of Modern Art New York

These ABC books feature objects from the title museums' collections to illustrate letters of the alphabet. Museum of Modern Art features Matisse's Dance for the letter ""D,'' Picasso's bronze She-Goat for ``G,'' Hopper's House by the Railroad for ``H.'' Museum of Fine Arts shows an antique Pennsylvanian armchair for ``A''; an Audubon picture from The Birds of America (a yellow-breasted chat nesting represents the letter ``N''); and for ``Y,'' the word youngsters, applied to Jefferson Gauntt's Two Children. The skinny and tall 4 13 format may be unwieldy for small hands, but the selections are varied, and the interesting shapes and textures, brightly reproduced in color photos, will appeal to young children.
