Classic tales beautifully carved in wood

This enchanting set of 28 handcrafted wooden blocks brings beloved Mother Goose stories to life through the artistry of traditional American woodworking. Each block is carefully embossed with two iconic silhouette images from classic nursery rhymes, whilst the complete text of each tale unfolds across the other four sides.

From "Jack and Jill" to "Humpty Dumpty," "Hey Diddle Diddle" to "Little Miss Muffet," these classic stories are presented with illustrated drop caps that signal the start of every rhyme. Perfect for reading together, independent exploration, or simply as beautiful objects that celebrate our storytelling heritage.

Both educational and decorative, these blocks are equally at home in the nursery as on the playroom floor. Handcrafted in Grand Rapids, Michigan, from sustainable Midwestern basswood and printed with safe-to-touch inks, each block represents the finest American toy-making tradition.
