For example, on the ""Mother Goose"" blocks, one side has a nursery rhyme, one side shows a related illustration, another a numeral and the last has two to three letters in the alphabet once the tower is built, young children can read all 10 rhymes, the numbers in order from one to 10, and the entire alphabet, A to Z. The blocks fit neatly inside one another and store in a sturdy carrying box. (Sept.)
