5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Illustrated Mother Goose Blocks, February 26, 2007
We purchased this collection of Mother Goose nesting blocks illustrated by Sylvia Long after we had already purchased the Mother Goose book of Nursery Rhymes. This means we already had the opportunity to see the detail and thoughtfulness of her illustrations up close.

There are ten blocks in all. Below is listed from largest to smallest block:

Number 10, No letter, Nursery Rhyme-"Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater" with an illustration of such

Number 9, Letters Y & Z, Nursery Rhyme-"Humpty Dumpty" with illustration of such (I should note here that Sylvia Long doesn't show a living egg creature falling off a wall like we saw when we were kids, this is a depiction of an egg cracking and a chick coming out--this is what I meant above by "thoughtful illustration")

Number 8, Letters V, W, X, Nursery Rhyme-"Ring Around the Rosies"

Number 7, Letters S, T, U, Nursery Rhyme-"Hey Diddle Diddle"

Number 6, Letters P, Q, R, Nursery Rhyme-"Mary Had a Little Lamb"

Number 5, Letters M, N, O-Nursery Rhyme-"Hush A Bye Baby" (this depicts a mother bear lovingly patting a very safe baby bear in a crib, not flying through the air)

Number 4, Letters J, K, L-Nursery Rhyme-"Jack Be Nimble"

Number 3, Letters G, H, I-Nursery Rhyme-"Little Boy Blue"

Number 2, Letters D, E, F-Nursery Rhyme-Rain, Rain Go Away"

Number 1, Letters A, B, C-No clue on the nursery rhyme, I just realized I was missing this block! Please make sure you receive all 10 of the blocks.

The nesting blocks were purchased for our near 1-yr old daughter. Because of there paper based composition (albeit very durable it is still cardboard), I would not recommend them for a child still prone to sticking things in their mouth. As far as nesting (each block sets inside the other) and stacking for the sake of teaching, these blocks are wonderful! The letters and numbers are easy-to-read and large. The colors and illustrations are exactly as they appear in the book and they stack nicely in a box with a strap to reduce the ever growing clutter in our home.

As a side note, I also emailed Sylvia Long to see about getting a signed copy of her illustrated book, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" for my daughter's first birthday. I started early anticipating a long delay in hearing back from her. She emailed within hours and was very pleasant to work with. This was an added bonus for sure!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic on so many levels, January 7, 2009
This is a WONDERFUL toy! My 18-month old son loves to stack the blocks and knock them down, figure out how to nest them into one another, and to squirrel some of his favorite smaller toys into the blocks and carry them around. The illustrations are wonderful and each side has something attractive and educational to offer: numbers, letters, pictures, rhymes. I consider this a must-have and a wonderful gift for anyone with children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Baby Shower Gift, January 21, 2007
By 
I purchased this for a baby shower gift. Each block has a different Mother Goose nursery rhyme, a letter of the alphabet, a number and illustrations. With all the technology out there for kids, it's nice to know that building blocks are still in for kids. I still have my wooden building blocks when I was a child but nothing as beautiful as these.
