Barefoot Books: Children's Board Book Sale

Barefoot books publishers are offering their very cool Winter sale now through Feb. 8th.

Many board books are available at a very good price. What is a board book?

A board book is a type of book printed on thick paperboard. The paperboard is printed and used for the both the cover and the interior pages. Each page panel is a minimum of 2 plies of paperboard thickness. Unlike a typical paper book that is bound with saddle stitching (staples) or perfect binding, a board book's pages are specially folded and bound together. Board books are very durable and consequently intended for small children (who are liable to damage ordinary books) so that they can start to develop an interest in books at an early age. Many best-selling titles that were originally published in hardcover or paperboard formats have been converted to board books. Most of the board books produced in the world are produced in China and Mexico; however, there is one board book printer still located in the United States.

For Babies, Toddlers and Preschoolers: A board book is made of thick cardboard and cannot be easily torn as a regular paper book could be. Board books are often given to babies and preschoolers as they are more durable for this age.
