I have Mother Goose blocks and regular alphabet blocks. I believe that this is the best set to get for children, if you have to chose. My children love hearing all the Mother Goose rhymes as we go through these blocks. These blocks really help combine lots of language play into regular playtime and help children learn Mother Goose rhymes. The pictures illustrating the rhymes are elegant and simple. My children are older and still enjoy these blocks, only now they are using them to learn to read on their own. By the way, I can't think of a better gift to get for a baby.

Just purchased these for our son's first birthday. They are beautiful and extremely well made, but the huge selling point for me was the nursery rhymes. I thought that was so clever and different. I would definitely buy these again. What a great gift!
