board books
Sturdy infant literature
Board books are children's books printed on thick, sturdy cardboard pages designed to withstand rough handling by infants and toddlers.
The rigid pages resist tearing, bending, and drool.
Most board books feature simple text and bright illustrations: We read board books at bedtime until she was old enough for picture books.
