Let Your Baby Try to Tear One of These…

September 14, 2007 by Susan

Does your baby treat books like chew toys?

I bet I can guess the answer to that… Yes, we all know babies explore with their mouths, so why should their exploration into the world of books not begin by gumming a good read?

TyBookOne brilliant mother of triplets recognized this need for babies to ‘read’ books in their own way. She invented TyBook — water-proof, tear-resistant and baby-durable books.

These baby books are entirely different than anything you’ve seen before. They are beautifully illustrated with wordless pictures that encourage you to engage in dialog with your baby.

Watch this baby in action with his beloved TyBook.

If you’ve got a little tyke who’s into chomping on storybooks, please leave a comment and we’ll enter you in the draw for a set of 3 TyBooks.

(US shipping addresses only this time… so Canadians you can enter if you have a US friend who could forward the books on to you.)

To ensure you find out if you won, when you enter this or any of our other giveaways, please add our email address ( info at 5minutesformom dot com ) to your safe senders list so that we can contact you if you win. Often our emails will get stuck in spam folders.

We’ll draw the lucky random winner on Friday, Sept 21st.

Update: The winner is
#62 – Candice

    That would be awesome. I had one son who treated all of his board books so nicely. Then, I had twin boys, and they have completely ripped apart and gummed up every single board book we have!!

    I would love these, my son eats every book! What can you expect from an 8 month old! But of course I am digging paper out of his mouth and his siblings get angry he ruined their books 🙁 these would be perfect for him to have!!
