The Very Classic Puzzle

Here's another 40th anniversary this year- the publication of Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Check out Galison/Mudpuppy's The Very Books Blocks Puzzle for kids ages 3 and up. This award-winning toy consists of 9 blocks that toddlers and preschoolers can rearrange to form 6 different puzzle pictures (The Very Quiet Cricket, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Very Lonely Firefly, The Very Clumsy Click Beetle, and The Very Busy Spider, plus a bonus sun). They're neatly packaged in a sturdy box with a sliding drawer, so storage is easy. It's a classic, fun, and affordable birthday gift at $14. Buy it at Galison/Mudpuppy.
