Look at these mamas and their babies in a book that's indestructible! "Who snuggles in the sunshine? Mama kangaroo and her Joey!" "Who swims side by side? Mama duck and her duckling!" "Who hugs in the moonlight? Mama and her owlet!"
Indestructibles is the trusted series for easing little ones into story time. Beloved by babies and their parents, Indestructibles are built for the way babies "read" (i.e., with their hands and mouths). They are rip proof (made of ultra-durable tight-woven material); waterproof (they can be chewed on, drooled on, and washed); serve as emergent literacy tools (with bright pictures and little to no words encouraging dialogic reading); portable (lightweight books can go anywhere, perfect for the diaper bag and for travel); and, most importantly, safe for babies (meeting ASTM safety standards).
Amy Pixton, a mother of triplets, created Indestructibles after bits of traditional board books found their way into her babies' mouths.
Kaaren Pixton has been making art with children for many years. Her studio is at her home in West Linn, Oregon, where she lives with her husband, one dog, five chickens, goldfish in a pond, and countless grandchildren romping in their gardens.
