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.

Hooray! Introducing two adorable additions to the unstoppable INDESTRUCTIBLES series: All Year Round: A Book of Seasons and Big and Little: A Book of Opposites. Babies and their parents can’t get enough of the innovative INDESTRUCTIBLES format, now boasting 41 titles and 6.3 million copies in print. Published on a unique, paperlike material that is 100% rip proof, chew proof, nontoxic, and completely washable, these books are designed for the way babies “read”—with their mouths!—and hold up to round after round of chewing, gumming, drooling, pulling, and bending. When they do get dirty, no problem. Parents just have to rinse them off or throw them in the dishwasher to restore them to their clean condition. Big and Little is a charming book of opposites: Baby is little. Doggie is big. Baby is sad. Baby is happy. Baby is awake. Baby is asleep. Shhh . . . Carolina Búzio’s illustrations are charming and brightly colored; the simple and engaging text is a delight to read aloud and designed to promote language development.

They’re called Indestructibles. They could just as well be called the unstoppables! As in they don’t stop selling (shipping over 1 million copies a year), don’t stop pleasing, and don’t stop filling an essential need for new parents: a book made for the way babies “read,” with their hands and mouths. Old MacDonald Had a Farm is the E-I-E-I-Oh! classic that introduces baby to the world of farm animals and the different ways each has of talking—the pig with his oink-oink, the cow with her moo-moo, and the baa-baas, cluck-clucks and quack-quacks that fill the farmyard. As a reminder, The Original Instructibles are chew-proof, drool-proof, rip-proof —and 100% non-toxic. And when they do get dirty, just throw them in the dishwasher. All for $5.95.
