[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Board books only for the littlest babies. The colors aren’t as rich and sometimes content is omitted.

Preference for hardcover, especially if it will be read multiple times. [/quote]

No.

Hardcover books are great, but board books are not just for babies. They can be really wonderful for toddlers and preschoolers because they can manhandle them a little more and the print is often larger (good for literacy as children start to learn letters and sounds). Hardcover books are great but not always well suited for little hands, and you don't want to teach your kid that books are grownup things.

And if you are buying any children's book without the expectation that it will be read "multiple times", what is happening in your house? My kid has probably 100 books and I think we have maybe one that has only been read once or twice. Most of them have been read dozens of times, if not hundreds. She has 30-40 books that live on a shelf next to her bed that get read at least once a week if not multiple times a week.

Lots of reasons to buy a variety of books in a variety of forms.[/quote]
