The Beginner's Bible: Timeless Children's Stories
$16.99
Got this when my daughter was 1, and as a 2 year old she was enthralled by the stories. Now, she's almost a 4 year old and I'm looking for the next level but this has been a great beginner Bible. The first thing I looked for in buying this was if the gospel message was presented through the story of the cross... this does a great job for my daughter's understanding level. Love it.

Fender Presents: Getting Started on Acoustic Guitar -- A Guide for Beginners
$24.95
The product description about the lessons is right on for me. I'm happy with them but one needs to practice. Lessons are just one part of playing a guitar. Keith did a good job in each section.

Melissa & Doug Beginner Pattern Blocks
$19.99
I ordered this toy for my oldest two children (almost 2 and just 3). They've been enjoying it ever since it came out of the box. The whole thing is well constructed and stores easily. The puzzles make it fun for the kids to identify shapes and colors and place them into context. It is beneficial that two triangles combine to make a square the same size as the square piece and two squares make a rectangle. The puzzle boards are two sided conveniently doubling the number of puzzles to complete. Given some of the Melissa and Doug reviews expressing concern over construction and value, I was a little apprehensive to purchase. However, this toy is worth the cost and will last until my youngest is able to enjoy it.
