Metallica to publish - a children's book

It's an illustrated children's book, covering band's history, "from, duh, A to Z!", as Metallica says. Well, maybe not exactly to "Z", maybe to "M" - it goes from "Garage Days", their early demo, "to Master of Puppets", their seminal album from 1996. If so, then there's a wrong guy on the cover, since in that period Cliff Burton was the bass-player (and they might have added Dave Mustaine somewhere behind the LLs, right?). Anyhow, it's called 'The ABCs of Metallica', comes out November 26th, it was co-written by the band with writer Howie Abrams and illustrated by Michael “Kaves” McLeer, who previously participated in Metallica’s 'Obey Your Master' exhibit in 2012, as Rolling Stone reports.
