"My toddler destroys every book in a week. Is there one that’ll actually survive them?"
Most "durable" toddler books fail at the corners or the spine, not the pages — that’s where the teething and the throwing happen. Look for board thickness at the edge, not just a board cover, and skip anything with a battery or sound button, since that’s the first thing to get chewed through anyway.
