Indestructibles: Plip-Plop Pond!

Description

Here is a book babies can really sink their gums into. Built for the way babies read, Indestructibles are printed on an amazing paperlike material that can't be ripped, torn, or punctured. Indestructibles are 100 percent safe and nontoxic, and if they get too funky, just throw them in the washing machine or dishwasher. They're made for baby to hold, grab, chew, pull, and bend, and are designed to create an even more special bond between reader and baby. Printed without words, the parent gets show more to make up the story, or just cuddle with baby while they explore together. Plip-Plop Pond! is about a frog who visits his friends in the pond. Kaaren Pixton's art is bright, swirling with color, and reminiscent of Eric Carle, and it attains an almost 3D richness on the special paperlike stock of the book. show less

Plip-Plop Pond! is the first in the series of Indestructibles. The artist, Kaaren Pixton is also the mastermind behind the Indestructible concept. Small (only 7") and square, they're the perfect size for little hands. And don't call these "board books," they're only about 1/16" thick! The pages are sewn together tightly, and according to Workman Publishing, they are chew proof, rip proof, noxtoxic, and 100% washable. Heck - you can even throw them in the dishwasher! As if that weren't enough (I'm beginning to sound like an infomercial here), they're beautiful.

Plip-Plop Pond! follows a friendly frog as he meets the other inhabitants of the pond - a swan, a heron, salamanders and more. Each page show the happy frog greeting a new friend. show more Full of vibrant, earthy colors, there is no white space in these inviting pages. No more than three creatures appear on each page, enabling little eyes to easily pick out the characters.
Little children will eat these books up (or at least try to!)

There are 8 books in the collection. This review is for an Advance Reader Copy that I received from the publisher.

A picture book about animals and insects that live in or near a pond. Pictures only. No words. Love these books! Washable. Chewable! Beautiful pictures.
