Review on πŸ“š Melissa & Doug Children's Book Tower - Natural Play Little Learning Books by Christopher Shavers

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The weakest set in the range

We have all four Melissa & Doug Natural Play Book Tower sets. The tower itself isn't useful except for nice marketing, so we're not keeping them in the "tower". We threw the books in the trash with other books. They make a lovely gift and it's good to have >1 set. All images are multiracial/gender specific. Here is a breakdown of the 4 books in the series. Books about small animals - the art here is generally pretty good if you're not a fan of anatomical accuracy. But real stories are triplets, ie 3 rhyming verses, with very amateurish verses. You are cute enough. Small books about vehicles - different types of vehicles. Only 1 word per page. Little children's books are short, abridged nursery rhymes. These are true/traditional rhymes like "rain rain go away" with the most colorful images in the book series. The artistic quality is bad. Good enough for young kids but the art looks like it was drawn by a high school student. But overall it's the best in the series because you have short poems to read. Small textbooks (this one) - a variety of topics, in most cases 1 word per page.

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
