Indestructibles – baby books to sink your teeth into!
Reviewer: Jeanette Perkins aka Beeba
Indestructibles are the answer to a grandparents’ prayers. Babies tend to “read” with their fingers and mouths. The result is often ripped pages or covers filled with bite marks. Indestructibles are books designed specifically to withstand the onslaught of tiny hands and teeth. I tested one selection on a one year old baby and three year old toddler and the books looked like new. A nine week old puppy also had a go and could do no damage. Wonderful idea to slip in the diaper bag for outings and travel.
