Reach Out and Read at Michigan Medicine values having high quality books for families. Indestructibles are unique books developed for the needs of the youngest readers who are learning to grasp, pull, and explore the world with their hands and mouth. These books are rip-proof, chew-proof, and washable. Because of this unique design that can survive bath time, mealtime, and even the most "enthusiastic" little reader, caregivers can confidently give these books to babies without worry that they will be destroyed. Additionally, Indestructibles have no or few words, encouraging caregivers to have conversations about the appealing pictures on each page. Babies benefit from this conversational-style of reading, which studies have shown boosts speech and vocabulary acquisition as babies grow.
Indestructibles encourage reading to become an everyday habit, and are a reminder that reading can happen anywhere at any time! University of Michigan clinics serve thousands of babies each year who would benefit from adding these unique books to their home libraries.
