"Books are for reading...not for eating"

Olivia and Dada enjoying a book with binding intact..for the time being!

Assignment: Preparing board books for their fate

When the lovely board books step over our threshold, I try to give them fair warning about their fate. They will be knawed on, binding tastes best, lift-the-flaps are easier to mangle and a little chunky cardboard is no match for tiny teeth. Hubby and I repeat a thousand times a day
"Books are for reading, not for eating."
These words fall on teeny ears of our paper connoisseur! She will take the time to look our way and giggle as she opens wide for another mouthful;)

Board books are a brilliant creation; allowing babies to be tactile with their first forms of literature.
Olivia sure thinks so!
