If you think bugs are ugly, take a closer look. One side of each block reveals a detailed close up of the insect featured on its opposite side. Colorful Art Nouveau upper and lowercase letters grace the remaining four sides. Explore patterns + etymology in a block set where nature meets design. This set is a companion to our Flower, Bird, and Ocean block sets.

Note the sophisticated, decorative color palette. The lettering beneath each insect matches the typeface. The styling and typeface pleases a designer's eye, so that Uncle Goose Bug Blocks appeal to both adults and children; as well as sophisticates and ruffians.

A Grandmother's love for her grandchildren is magically portrayed in "The Legend of the Loon"

One side of each block reveals a close up of the bird featured on its opposite. Colorful Art Nouveau letters grace the remaining sides. Two debossed letters on each block. A companion to our Bug, Flower, and Ocean sets.

You'll see the Art Nouveau design sensibility applied to all the block sets that feature nature: bugs, flowers, birds, and ocean. But as you might imagine, Uncle Goose is a bit partial to birds. With a top hat and bow tie, the beloved Uncle Goose character also evokes a 1920's fashion sensibility.

t started with a mother's love... Fleeing from a forest fire, a mother bear urges her two cubs into the watery shelter of a vast body of water. Though it will be difficult, she knows if they can swim across to the opposite shore, they will be safe. With calls of encouragement and steadfast love, Mother Bear guides her cubs across the great lake, Lake Michigan. And the story of what happens once Mother Bear reaches the far shore becomes the legend behind the natural wonder known as Sleeping Bear Dune. In 1998 writer Kathy-jo Wargin and nature artist Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen combined their talents to bring The Legend of Sleeping Bear to life. Published to wide acclaim, the book was soon named the Official Children's Book of Michigan. More than twenty years later, this story of enduring maternal love continues to resonate with readers young and old.

A beautiful tale of the painted turtle Makinauk, his animal friends, and their discovery of new lands and long-lasting friendship.
