I was going to invent these myself, but someone beat me to it. :) Both my husband and I love for our children to have books, lots of them; the problem? Well, the children (at least the two that are under two years old) are rough on books, very rough. So I was excited to find these indestructible baby/toddler books! Yes, they claim they are tear resistant, and water proof (teething baby's can chew on them, and they can even be washed in the dishwasher!). I don't have any yet, but I am looking forward to ordering and trying them out! You can look them up HERE if you like. :)
