Buying a replacement

This is my one-year-old's favorite book. The book is two inches cubed with 11 "pages." Each page is about a quarter of an inch thick. The size is perfect for his tiny hands, and the very thick pages are easy for him to turn, despite his limited coordination. He can turn the pages of other board books, but only a few pages at a time. This one he can easily get to every page. In addition, the paper binding makes it so the book just flops open--it's not at all rigid like most board books. Unfortunately, my son has loved this book so much that he's torn it in half, and what's left of the binding doesn't hold the rest together very well. It's such a great little book than I'm buying a replacement.

My 1-year old loves it!

I bought this for my 1-year old to use on an plane. It's a very small (3 in.), cube-shaped board book with only 10 "pages." Each page shows one lovely animal illustration from Eric Carle's "The Very Busy Spider" book. My son had fun turning the pages and playing with the book in his hands. When he would open a page, we'd read the name of the animal and make the accompanying animal sound. He loved it (especially the pig). This was considerably more entertaining to him than a normal board book, as the shape/size were just right for his little hands. It held his interest much longer than I expected. Plus its small size makes it very easy to bring in a diaper bag or purse.
