Workman Publishing Indestructibles Frere Jacques

Indestructibles are the 100 percent baby proof, chew proof, rip proof, completely washable, and nontoxic series of books. Books built for the way babies read, Indestructibles are printed on an amazing nontoxic, paperlike material that holds up to endless chewing, gumming, gnawing, grabbing, bending, and pulling. Then, once the books get dirty, parents can throw them in a dishwasher or washing machine to make them clean as new.

The title is adapted from classic nursery rhymes and illustrated by Jonas Sickler. Sickler's paintings are whimsical and fun, filled with dazzling textures and eye-popping color. They will grab and keep a baby's attention, and delight adults. The book offers a multicultural twist on a classic nursery rhyme -- in Frere Jacques, a sleeping pastry chef dreams of bonbons and crêpes flying over the streets of Paris. The text for the nursery rhyme is printed on the back cover.
