Learning Block Books: Numbers, Colors, Shapes, Animals this question feed

Learning and playing, playing and learning--it's all one and the same when you're a tot. So this big box of block books is an ideal toy and learning tool for very young children. An appealing and colorful cardboard carrying case (with flip-top construction and cheery red string handles) is packed with 26 extra-sturdy little board books that teach kids about colors, numbers, shapes, and animals. Each 8-page book focuses on one concept or theme--"Orange," "Four," "Circle," "Bugs," etc.--with a word or two on each spread, along with a simple illustration. The chunky books are just the right size for tiny hands; readers can stack them up to build a tower--or a foundation for learning! Consider it an updated version of the classic wooden alphabet blocks children have grown up with for generations. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

I bought this for my son who was 20 months old at the time. I thought it would be a great learning tool for my daughter (5) to show & 'teach' my son words as well as help her learn to read. So far it has proven to be a great toy for both of them & something that they can do together. But I was surprised that the real appeal to these books are that they are stackable. My son will spend hours stacking them & knocking them down & restacking but also he loves to bring them to me & ask me what the pictures are. I originally purchased it, thinking it was a great deal but then thinking that it would end up being one of those 'all over the house' toys...as it turns out, my son is crazy about keeping all the books together in the box so that hasn't been a big problem.

I am planning on buying these for all the babies in my life, I think it is one of the most ingenius toys on the market. Not only does it provide a lot of stacking activity but also it encourages the child to interact with others and learn. I LOVE these!!!!
