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?
One 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.)
