Metallica recently announced their kids' book The ABCs Of Metallica. The book, co-authored by Howie Abrams of The Merciless Book Of Metal Lists and drawn by Michael "Kaves" McLeer, is out on November 26 and pairs up each letter of the alphabet with a specific time in Metallica's history.

You can watch guitarist Kirk Hammett read his portion of the book below. Hammett's section talks about his love of surfing and horror movies, as well as his time in Exodus. Which is a pretty cool shout out.

Grab the book here. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Metallica's All Within My Hands Foundation, which is dedicated to creating sustainable communities by supporting workforce education, the fight against hunger, and other critical local services.
