Jingle Baby is the perfect stocking stuffer or gift for baby’s first Christmas. The tree, the decorations, the gingerbread house, the gathering of family and friends—it’s a lovely story of sharing holiday traditions. And this book holds up to even the stickiest of candy-caned fingers: It’s 100 percent baby-proof, chew-proof, rip-proof, and drool-proof. Printed on a unique nontoxic, paperlike material that holds up to anything babies can throw at it—gumming, spilling, dragging across the floor—Indestructibles are the little books that could. And if they get dirty, just throw them in the dishwasher or rinse them in the sink. With more than two million copies in print, Indestructibles are the books built for the way babies read.
