I am very very pleased with this set, which I think is equally nice for a boy or girl. The pictures do not show the colours and patterns very well though, and I recommend browsing around to find better pictures showing the details. It is mainly black, white, soft green with a little blue in it (tropical ocean colour but softer, as I imagine the icy water at the poles!) and rusty red. The black has a few percent brown in it and the white is off-white which makes the set look softer and cosier.
The back side of the COMFORTER has the same pattern as behind the penguins: small reddish/soft pink leaves and berries on a light brown background. Might sound girly to some but I don't think it is. This reddish/brown pattern make it look great with our crib which has walnut finish, but I think it would look equally nice in a white, cherry, dark brown or black crib, perhaps(?) less good with a very light wood colour.
The FITTED SHEET has a tropical ocean green background, brighter than the velvet green bordering the comforter, but the white dots make it look less bright (makes me think of iceflakes) and it goes perfect with the velvet colour.
The BUMBER comes in four parts, the two long parts have whales on them and one short part has penguins and the other polar bears. My son loves to touch the different textures! I appreciate that the animals do not show any particular face expressions, like many other animal themed sets with smiling animals.
We have washed and tumble dried the comforter and sheet once (together) at low temperature and they look and feel like when we got them, i.e. no problems with colour coming off or threads coming loose or filling material clumping.
All the materials feel soft and are of high quality.

I'm a mother of a 2-year-old son and one on the way. We wanted to make way for new baby so we decided to transition our son into a toddler bed. We saw a lot of sets at our local stores but were never really satisfied with what we found. When I saw this Dr. Suess ABC toddler bedding set I just knew it would be perfect! This is my sons ultimate favorite book and when he first saw it on his new big boy bed he was so excited to use it. I don't know if it was my son's easy-going demeanor or the bedding set itself that made the transition super easy. He is still till this day so excited to sleep in it and we never had a problem getting him in his new room. What I also love about this set that wasn't featured in other bedding sets is the "hugger style" quilt and top sheet.The fitted sheet has the garter corners but also the top sheet and the comforter has that same feature on the bottom two corners so my son can't kick the blankets off like he usually does.
