It’s summer beach reading for babies! A brand-new addition to the series that parents and babies just can’t get enough of—the Indestructibles line now includes 16 titles with a collective 1.9 million copies in print—Beach Baby celebrates everyone’s favorite summertime spot. It’s completely beach proof, too! Toss it in a beach bag, roll it in the sand, handle it with sticky popsickled fingers, smear it with sunscreen, get it wet—it’s indestructible.
Printed on a unique, nontoxic paperlike material that holds up to endless gumming, chewing, bending, pulling, and drooling, Indestructibles are books built for the way that babies read. When they do get dirty, just run them through the dishwasher or rinse them in the sink and they will be bright, clean, and ready for more baby action.
Beach Baby combines the distinctive and colorful collage illustrations of artist Kate Merritt—whose previous titles include Baby Faces, Baby Night-Night, Baby Peekaboo, and Baby Babble—with a charming trip to the shore. Name the objects in the beach bag and on the picnic blanket with your little one. Point out the sand castles and pretty seashells. The text is simple, engaging, and designed to encourage language development.
For the irresistible price of $5.95, it’s page after page of sun-soaked joy for baby.
