A soft book. Currently Everett loves this book because it's colorful and crinkles. 😄 I love that it has a ring that I can attach it to his stroller or his activity seat.

We love this book for our baby! It's soft, crinkly, and vividly colored. It has a silicone corner for chewing, different textured fabrics, and a squeaker. There's not much for text here - just numbers 1-5 and 5 different fruits - but I don't mind it for this age (under 6 months). I love the opportunity to introduce babies to Eric Carle in a way they can already enjoy!

Our 6-week old, despite not yet being able to get the full use of this book yet, seems to love it. It’s been great use to grab her attention during a crying fit. One of her favorite hobbies right now is smacking the caterpillar on the front.

I categorized this as a board book, but it’s actually fabric! A great option for infants. Textured silicone corners to mouth, touch-and-feel patterns inside. Crinkly pages, too! A diaper bag staple!
