Review summary:Pros: Easily washable (dishwasher or laundry), truly indestructible, easily portable, fun images, baby loves them, conveys different ethnicity/culture than my own, at least conveys a story (unlike most of the other Indestructible titles)Cons: Story is very, very short and words (just the nursery rhyme) appear on back cover rather than on each pageMy son loves his Indestructibles books! He has 7 or 8 of them now. He's just over 1 year old now and I got him his first ones used at a yard sale when he was 5 months old. The really are indestructible: they withstand so much abuse (teething, crushing, tug of war, and more) and then I pop them in the dishwasher to clean them up. The bright colors and fun images never seem to fade regardless of how used they are. I actually prefer it when they are broken in - much softer. You can even iron them (with a sheet or some other colorfast fabric that can take the heat between the book and the iron) to make them flat again. I love that they are so thin that you can take them anywhere. I can easily slip one into my tiny purse to take on the go. When we took a vacation recently, we brought a couple of these books to "read" as bedtime stories instead of his board books so we could pack light (we made up stories for each of them because they don't actually have words or much of a story… Read on for more on that). These books are worth every penny!My only complaint is that none of the books are ones you sit down and read together. I hate that! I want to read him a story. Yes, I understand that these have a key role to play in literacy because it encourages free exploration and communication about the images and blah, blah, blah. Still, I want to book where I have the option to read the story.
