4.0 out of 5 stars For a baby, December 30, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Sylvia Long's Mother Goose Block Books (Board book)

I was so excited to order the Sylvia Long Molther Goose Board Books because my 7 month old daughter loves books, but I was disappointed. While the books are beautiful and she likes them, they really cannot double as building blocks as they are marketed. All babies put everything in their mouths, which is something the manufacturer overlooked. When I gave her one of the books Christmas morning of course it went directly in her mouth and in less than a minute the front cover basically melted in her mouth and some of the paper came off. I definitely cannot leave the blocks for her to play with because they will be ruined in no time. Unlike other board books that have withstood hours of mouthing, I have to make sure I'm with her at all times when she plays with these in case some of the paper comes off which is a choking hazard. Bummer.

My 15 month old *loves* these books! She likes to read them, play with them, and hand them to me to read them to her. She also loves to take them out of the box and then put them back in. I'm going buy this set for my sister for her baby shower!
