Indestructibles Wiggle! March! [Paperback]

Kaaren Pixton (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 16, 2009 | Age Level: 0 and up | Series: Indestructibles

Announcing a brand new idea in publishing books for babies: the completely durable, completely safe Indestructibles. Published on the same paper-like material used in shipping envelopes, Indestructibles are 100% baby-proof: chew-proof, drool-proof, and rip-proof. That's because Indestructibles not only will not tear or turn gummy with teething, but they are also completely washable.

Indestructibles are also energetic, beautiful, and created just for baby. The printing material reproduces color artwork with uncommon depth, and with no residual inkiness; the artwork, paintings by Kaaren Pixton and reminiscent of Eric Carle, is happy, each page a simple, colorful image of an animal or bird or insect against a rich, textured background. The effect is 3D-like and completely visual. There are no words, making each perfect for parents and babies to look at together, with mom or dad telling the story.

Three titles launch the series: Creep! Crawl! about animals that crawl, Flutter! Fly! about animals that fly, and Wiggle! March! about farm animals—books babies can really sink their teeth into.

About the Author

Kaaren Pixton is a fine artist and children's educator who has been making art with children for thirty years. The idea of printing books on rip proof, waterproof, paperlike material was developed by Kaaren and her daughter-in-law, Amy Pixton, a mother of triplets who came up with idea after bits of traditional board books found their way into her babies' mouths. Originally from Ireland, Kaaren lives in Portland, Oregon, and is the proud grandmother of eight. Amy lives in Kansas City, Kansas, with her husband and their three children.

Indestructibles Wiggle! March! by Kaaren Pixton
Reading level: Baby-Preschool
Workman Publishing Company (December 16, 2009)
Printed on tyvek!
Cautions: None

Kiwi Magazine:
For any parent or caregiver who has plucked soggy bits of baby books from the wee one's mouth or found teeth marks or missing chunks from board books, we dare you to test these out on your little book biter. The books seem to be pretty indestructible as the name implies, but they're also washable. Beside the nontoxic ink and the tyvek material, the illustrations are gorgeous (there is no text). There are several choices of these books available so `chews' one or two!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for babies, July 30, 2010

By 

AdelineL (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Indestructibles Wiggle! March! (Paperback)

I just bought it for my 7-month old son and he loves it!
Unlike other baby books, this one has thin pages like a real book, but unlike "real" books a baby cannot tear it down!
Also my son loves very much to chew on it. This book is really a great invention for babies!!
He loves to chew on carton/paper but you are always afraid that he is going to swallow some pieces. At least with this "Indestructibles" book you are completely safe and baby enjoys it a lot! And it also has bright colors.
I think this is a great choice for a first baby book.
You should still get regular books to read stories to baby but this one is just great for letting him play with it!
