My son received this book as a gift and absolutely loves it. I'll find him playing with the pieces and telling the nursery rhymes all on his own. It's been great in helping him develop his imagination and memory. We love the illustrations and colorful characters. I highly recommend this book for ages 2 - 4.

This is my 4-year-old daughter's favorite book, and has been for over a year! Included with the book of Mother Goose rhymes, is a container with felt characters for each poem, and a large fold-out board on which to put them and play with them. To top off the fun, there is a wheel on the back of the book, which spins and randomly lands on a different title.

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed spinning the wheel, hearing me read(sing) each rhyme, and then reenacting each with the felt characters as we sang/said them again.

This book has held up very well, and I have purchased another one for my nieces!

We highly recommend this!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice book but the pieces are too small!, August 13, 2003

I'm quite impressed with the quality of this book. It's a good way to show the kid how a cow jumps over the moon, how humpty dumpty has a nasty fall, how the mouse runs up the clock. I'm disappointed with two aspects only: size of the pieces, they're too small, should make them bigger. secondly, it doesn't stick, so you can't put it right side up. As I bought this for my playgroup, I was a bit disappointed. Nonetheless, I think it's a good buy.
