'The Play Date' Board Book

My toddler actually said "mine" and then handed the block to her friend after we read this together—that's a win in my book. The board book is sturdy enough to survive being chewed on and thrown across the room, which is exactly what I needed.

The pages are thick enough that my two-year-old can turn them herself without tearing anything, which is huge. We've read it every night this week and she's already pointing to the kids sharing toys, so it's doing its job.

My toddler grabbed this from my hands immediately and hasn’t put it down since—the sturdy pages are perfect for her rough handling. She’s already pointing at the pictures and trying to copy the sharing scenes, which is exactly what I wanted.
