It has kept her busy for HOURS. Given the fact she is just shy of 12 months this is nothing short of a miracle. I have been super worried about board books because inevitabily I get distracted with something and look over at my daughter just in time to see a hunk of book missing and her chewing. Needless to say there is a lot of crying when I take the "snack" away. I want her to have a positive experience with books but I also don't want her ingesting them. I googled books for toddlers and found Indestructibles. I was grateful to those who mentioned the thinness of the book. I would have been surprised otherwise. For us the thinness is a positive thing. It is very similar to those magazines I am always putting out of reach. I love the texture, colors and the fact the my daughter can put every fiber of herself into destroying this book AND she can't. She seems to love it. I highly recommend this. I have purchased 2 more and look toward to placing them strategically so she thinks she is playing with something she shouldn't.
These books are fantastic! They aren't wrinkle proof, so be prepared for the pages to become very wrinkled, but the pages are just like a book, except the pages are waterproof, and rip proof. My 8 month old loves to chew on this, and it's great that I don't have to worry about him ingesting paper. I can't say the same about his board books. ;) There is no story, just words, but trust me, he isn't concerned with the story at this age.
We have several of the Indestructibles series, but this one is our baby's favorite (he's 11 months). I keep a stack of them next to the changing station and he loves to read during diaper changes. Also great to stash in a diaper bag for travel because they are practically weightless. Awesome books!
These books are really nice--worth their weight in gold for sure. Not having to get my fingers into the Fort Knox of my baby's mouth to pull out wads of paper is awesome! I also really like the illustrations and their bright colors. I know some people wish that the books had more words or a story, but at my son's age (12 months), this isn't really so important as just having bright pictures to look at and talk about ("Oh, look, the baby has a doll.") The pages are made of Tyvek, and they are stitched together with thread, which I really appreciate. We definitely take these with us every time we fly. The weird thing is, though...it's as if he knows he can't destroy them and thus is less interested. The company explains that the books don't have covers because babies are more interested in turning (and chewing) the pages. I think this is a valid point, but it might feel more like a book and less like a magazine if they had somehow created a cover, perhaps some cardboard safely stitched within layers of the Tyvek. I do agree that these books are indestructible (and that is SO nice!), but they do definitely wrinkle and crease and show wear. This is way less of a big deal than a book that is missing ten pages and has its cover half-eaten, but I do think I should mention that they aren't going to look brand new again after you take them out of the box. I am including a picture of the way our book looked after our son played with it for a week. So, all in all, some minor issues, but these are still great books for travel or for when you are stuck in a line somewhere (cough cough, post office, I'm looking at you). I can't stress enough how wonderful it is not to be picking paper pulp out of a baby's mouth and wiping ink stains off his face! And for that I say, well done, Indestructibles folks.
My daughter is a paper eater. Books, wrappers, receipts, tissues- you name it, she eats it. I searched high and low for a product she could safely munch on and I was excited to find these! She absolutely loves them. She tries to rip and bite but they don't budge. I highly recommend them!
My 10 month old loves books. I thought board books were the "indestructible books" but soon realized after my baby chewing on them, they just dissolved in her mouth. Board books are good for reading stories to a baby and not having to worry about the pages being ripped. So I bought this Indestructibles book and it does not dissolve in her mouth when she chews on it so that is why I am giving it 3 stars. This is not a reading book. There are just pictures with one word by each picture. Also keep in mind that just because this book is chew proof does not mean that it is destroy proof. My 10 month old instantly folded and put creases in all the pages after just a couple minutes the book look destroyed even though it is still intact.
Extra extra! Read all about it! Perfect baby book for traveling!I really love this book. The Indestructibles series has many titles, but this review is specifically about the Baby Babble one. What I love about this title is that each page is a large scene with labeled objects. So, for example, the first page has a little girl (labeled "baby") on a picnic blanket with her "bunny", "bowl", "bottle", "cheese", "spoon", "banana", and "apple". These books are great for playing the game "Point to the..." and "Where is the..." My daughter is 17 months now and we've had this book since she was 13 months old. We purchased it in preparation for a plane ride and family vacation. She loves looking at the book independently, and when she's seated in her stroller with this book open, it looks like she's reading a baby magazine or newspaper. It's adorable. I always keep it in the diaper bag. We never leave home without it.I highly recommend this title, as well as the series in general. The Indestructibles books are extremely well-constructed. The binding is sewn tight. The pages are rip proof and non-toxic. They're great books for pulling out at restaurants, where books often get lots of food on them. I've even put it through the wash (front-loader, gentle cycle). As some commenters noted, the pages may get wrinkled. For me, this has only happened to the front and back covers. If you're really bothered by it, you could probably iron the book on a low setting, covering it first with a burp cloth or something so as to not melt the pages. Overall, absolutely wonderful book!
