When my preschooler was first interested in books [@ 9 mos.!] ,we got him the heavy-duty board books. We continue to get them through Chick-Fil-A and he loves to read them [yes,he's reading @ age three!] and look at the pictures! To be able to keep them with us ,I hole-punched them and tied heavy-duty string or even shoelaces to our stroller so he would have them with us as it would occupy him when I had to go on errands or mall-shopping! I have done this to quite a few books and they last!

To hole-punch,.I use my Crop-A-Dile hole- puncher[if you're a scrapbooker, you probably have one] to punch the holes. If you don't have one, a regular hole puncher might work.
