what do you mean this book isn't food??? mommy tricked me. i want real food stat

[Heidi]

Fun book with lots of food divided into color groups.

[Deanna]

These books were the best thing ever when you were really little because you can chew on them and pull at them as hard as you want and they don't rip or break. It's incredible. Of course once I told Grandma how amazing this book was she went out and bought you a bunch more. I don't exactly know who got you this one though. When you were very little (six months or so) the pink page was your favorite and you would specifically turn to that page and stare at it for so long. Even a whole year later you still love this book and are doing a great job naming all the foods and colors. Right now the yellow page is your favorite because that's your favorite color.

This is probably my favourite in the Indestructibles series so far! I love these books. Babies learn with their hands and mouths and it's wonderful for them to be able to safely engage in books this early on and develop positive associations with reading. This one has it all: bright colours, lots of different foods and an array of wonderful adjectives. There is so much to enjoy and explore on each page. And it's lucky that the pages look good enough to eat, because it will probably go straight in baby's mouth!

A book my baby can’t tear and loves to play with?! A win!!!

[Kailey (Luminous Libro)]

All the foods in this book are grouped by color. There are red watermelons, orange pumpkins, yellow corn, green limes, and purple grapes, along with dozens more. We learn the names of all the different foods, including plums, kiwi, avocado, apricots, and radishes.

Todos los alimentos de este libro se agrupan por color. Hay sandías rojas, calabazas anaranjadas, maíz amarillo, limas verdes y uvas moradas, junto con docenas más. Aprendemos los nombres de todos los diferentes alimentos, incluyendo ciruelas, kiwi, aguacate, albaricoques y rábanos.

The writing is very simple, and just right for babies and toddlers learning their first words. The illustrations are bright and colorful, with a cartoony style and simple designs.

La escritura es muy simple, y perfecto para los bebés y los niños pequeños que aprenden sus primeras palabras. Las ilustraciones son brillantes y coloridas, con un estilo caricaturesco y diseños sencillos.

The book really does appear to be indestructible. I tried tearing one of the pages, and it wouldn't tear, although it crinkled up a little. I was surprised that the pages are so thin. This is NOT a board book. The pages are made of some kind of thick fiber, and there is no cover or spine. The pages are sewn together into a thin booklet. No wonder they say that babies could chew on it, and it is washable. Without a cover for babies to chew on, and no spine to get torn, the book really is indestructible!

El libro realmente parece ser indestructible. Intenté romper una de las páginas, y no se rompió, aunque se arrugaba un poco. Me sorprendió que las páginas son tan delgadas. Las páginas están hechas de algún tipo de fibra gruesa, y no hay cubierta o columna vertebral. Las páginas se cosen juntas en un cuadernillo delgado. No es de extrañar que digan que los bebés podrían masticarlo, y es lavable. Sin una cubierta para que los bebés mastiquen, y no hay columna vertebral que se rompa, el libro realmente es indestructible.

Otro favorito de mi bebé a temprana edad (tal vez 3 meses.) Algo que he notado que le gusta son páginas con muchos objetos (en este caso son alimentos) y que yo le vaya diciendo que son y tal vez que le cuente algo como: esta es la piña, la favorita de papá. También le gusta mucho morder este libro.

[Melissa Swistek]

Cute little indestructible book that provides bilingual illustrations of fruits and veggies with an encouragement to eat the rainbow “los alimentos de color rojo son riquísimos!”.

After a year, our copy has become quite wrinkled but has not torn once. It’s a fun way to learn the Spanish names for foods.

[Ifffat Ara]

This adorable baby book is a wonderful addition to any child's first library. The colorful illustrations keep little ones engaged, while the durable, washable pages withstand everyday use. It's perfect for curious babies who love to explore with their hands and mouths. A thoughtful, safe, and highly recommended gift for new families.

[Tracie]

This book has GREAT illustrations, great colors that attract your eye immediately. I love that the text is in both English and Spanish which makes it more useful for teaching. I wish there were a board book option, but, as it says, it is truly indestructible.

[Lynn Plourde]

Our daughter and son-in-law share Spanish with their baby every day. So I was excited to find this Spanish Indestructible book about foods. Love the Indestructibles, as always. I found the text to be long-ish for readers who don't know Spanish and are just learning it as they teach their babies.

[Shauna Ludlow Smith]

Great indestructible book about foods. Cute babies.

[Dawn]

I love that these are tyvek.

[Anya]

fun for learning about fruit and vegetables

[Victoria Hanley]

Love the indestructible washable quality of these books.

[Josephine Awak]

The fact that it is indestructible made it superb for its recommendation (0 to 2) years. highly recommended for infants and improves food varieties.

[Alicia]

For: food lovers; readers looking for a colorful food book that is INDESTRUCTIBLE!

Possible red flags: some readers may feel that there is not much of a story.

[Audrey Deel]

This is a great choice to introduce food words to your baby! The indestructible format means that the baby can experience the story through touch as well. We read this book multiple times a week.

[Lauren]

Great idea, can survive excessive scrunching and chewing. Plus love the colourful pictures and wide variety of foods.

[Terry]

Granddaughter loved it!

[Lindsay]

Simple vocabulary book with illustrations. I appreciate that it emphasizes the Spanish with a larger font size and includes synonyms when a food item has more than one name.

i said i wanted to try and beat up this book and my sister decided to repeat that and has been saying beat up while shaking this book for 4 mins

[Luna Hilsman]

5/5 She loved it. She enjoyed trying to gouge my eyes out while we were reading. Eyeballs are grapes too right!?

[Starbubbles]

Some of the color classifications I do not agree with, such as blackberries are purple, but it is a pretty good book.

[Theia]

Great book for your bilingual children.

[Ashley]

No hay una historia, solamente cosas. Es un poco aburrido de mi bebé pero quizas le gustaría un dia.

[Elizabeth Gallegos]

It’s just pictures and labels. But it is hard to damage.

[Zazie]

This is a great book to help you teach your baby the different fruits and vegetables in English and Spanish.

[BAT]

BAT (6m): sees indestructible as a challenge.

MAT: it's holding up better than expected though the cover is quite crinkled now (to be expected).
