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!

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!

Beautiful illustrations and as durable as can be. Just what a baby needs, I will buy them all.

My son loves these books. He can do anything to them and they will not rip and the ink will not bleed. They do crumple and become a bit ragged. However the pages stay together and you can still see the pictures. We like them so much we bought some for friends.

I gave this book to my nephew for his first birthday. He loves books with "real" pages but, as you can imagine, they don't last long in his little hands (or mouth). This is the perfect solution! Love it!

"Indestructibles" are a series of wordless books labeled as "chew proof, rip proof, nontoxic, 100% washable." They resemble the canvas picture books of 50+ years ago but adhere to recent toy safety guidelines. "Flutter! Fly!" pictures eleven birds and bugs. "Creep! Crawl!" introduces eleven small creatures on the ground. "Wiggle! March!" features eleven familiar farm animals. All are friendly; some are even smiling. Spider and caterpillar have demure eyelashes, while an earthworm sports sunglasses. In each book, nearly all the animals are looking directly at the reader, which will increase a child's interest in the pictures. The lack of text allows a baby and read-aloud adult to set a comfortable pace, flipping the pages or lingering over individual pictures. Tots will soon have their own favorites.

I bought this for a small child in my life and it is amazing. The product truly is indestructible. I tried to bite it, tear it, even cut it - it resisted my scissors too. I don't know what it's made out of but it's awesome for a toddler. And the illustrations are soooooo cute. Great product!

These books are absolutely wonderful for little ones who put everything in their mouths! My daughter has the best time crinkling them, tearing at them, eating them - and they still look great! Absolutely wonderful product. We've given them as gifts, and they've been a hit, too.

This is a great gift for new moms. Babies love paper and when they see you read want to eat the books. You can let them chew, slobber and try to rip apart these with no worries. Then you can wash them with hot soapy water when the books get thrown on the floor as all toys do. Just bought a bunch to give as gifts. Would recomend.

As the name suggests, the books really are indestructible and hold up to the abuse and drool of my 9.5 month old. I love that I can let him play with a book and not worry that he is going to rip the pages and start eating them. That said,you do need to understand that these books are thin, almost paper-like. They do crease and get wrinkled, so they look used after being played with one time. It does not affect future play- just aesthetics. Also, all indestructible books do not have words. The drawings can be slightly abstract and there is a lot going on in some of them. The purpose is so you can make up your own story, but some parents might find the lack of words to be a downside. I chose the Wiggle! March! book specifically because there is one animal on each page, so I can use the book as more of a collection of flash cards (Cat, Dog, etc.) as I am not the creative storytelling type.
