Cute!

This book is amazing. My son is a very rough boy. He enjoys trying to rip and chew all his books. This one lives up to the claims that are made. He has done his best to destroy this book and he hasn't made a single dent to it.

Great way to show the children the animals and their babies. Bold picture book! Very color images and short words to keep the kids attention. Made a fun way to show the kids theie colors and what color the animals are. Also, a good book to use when reading about a family theme. This is a multipurpose, and multiuse book. Additionally, this book is one of the few that are made very durably for when the kids want to put things in their mouth this book would last. Very durable.
For reading this book aloud I would show the cover first and talk about the animals that we see. I would then ask what is your favorite animal? Then I would show the pictures inside and ask what types of animals there are?

Good book, and appropriate for the age it's written for - lots of pictures and colors and labels, with only short sentences that form a story. (Sort of a story. More of a statement.)

I like the idea of the "Indestructible" book, and we've definitely had some fun at my library trying to rip a page. (I feel like the binding is going to fail faster than the pages will ever tear.) BUT they're so thin I just know they're going to get lost immediately.

Another no chew, rip proof book? Challenge accepted. We weren't crazy about the last one of these books, but this one's better. Maybe, it's because of the baby animals. Maybe, it's because we think the word joe (which is what a baby kangaroo is called) is seriously funny and we giggled every time mama said it. 🐯🐼🐋

This story is definitely for kinder or below. The book is "indestructible" so it would be perfect to give to really young kids. It shows different animals and a little bit about what they like to do.

I love the concept & art in this one as much as the "Love You Baby" one my son has. However, my son isn't able to sit through this one as long. It may be the lack of touchables related to the animals that turns him off.

Our library will put this to the test- chew proof, rip proof

[Shauna Ludlow Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love this series of “indestructible” books since most babies bite or chew or rip regular book pages. The stories are simple with bright illustrations. I just wish they were longer.

Not a great read aloud book, but I didn’t know a baby bunny is called a kitten so even I learned something. Cute illustrations.

So far, this book has withstood drool, gnawing, ripping, and crinkling. And the pages are beautiful.

Mommy bought this because when I saw this at the bookstore, I would not let go of it. I was 8 months old at that time. I still love this book until today.

I even learned a thing or two from this book.

[Stephen Hilton]

I bet I could destroy it.

[Vicky]

Today I learned that baby rabbits are kittens. Mind blown.

Liked seeing the baby animals, not fully focused on book though

[Evelyn Slinkard · Rating 5 out of 5]

She loved it! :D

[Matthew Roeschlein · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lacked flow, illustrations were nice.

[Alicia Evans · Rating 3 out of 5]

For: animal lovers; readers looking for a sweet, cuddly book with lots of vocabulary.

Possible red flags: some may find too simple.
