I've noticed the same as @ladyfingers: when it comes to kid's books. Hardcover is usually the only option. It does get pricey but they last longer. I hate the covers though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-hardcover-or-paperback-books-when-you-buy-childrens-books-for-your-kids#post-301579 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 16:52:29 +0000 banana 301579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hardcover!

I've been able to find very, very gently used hardcover books at our local secondhand bookstore for just a couple bucks each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-hardcover-or-paperback-books-when-you-buy-childrens-books-for-your-kids#post-301414 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 14:28:33 +0000 heffalump 301414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're still on board book. </p> <p>So far for books for when she's older I only get free books (Jewish books from the PJ library) or I'll buy $1 books when the library has a sale, either hard or soft cover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-hardcover-or-paperback-books-when-you-buy-childrens-books-for-your-kids#post-301384 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 14:10:56 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 301384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>all hardcover for now! i can't wait til she's older so i can get her some berenstein bear paperback books though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-hardcover-or-paperback-books-when-you-buy-childrens-books-for-your-kids#post-301344 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:43:18 +0000 autumnlove 301344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly hardcover! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-hardcover-or-paperback-books-when-you-buy-childrens-books-for-your-kids#post-301334 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:37:56 +0000 Andrea 301334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: boys and girls are so different! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-hardcover-or-paperback-books-when-you-buy-childrens-books-for-your-kids#post-301310 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:27:20 +0000 ladyfingers 301310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most early children's books I've seen don't really have a paperback option, maybe it's just me? Usually when it gets up to the advanced reader ages is when you have a paperback. But I prefer hardcover anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-hardcover-or-paperback-books-when-you-buy-childrens-books-for-your-kids#post-301305 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:25:43 +0000 looch 301305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: You are lucky! My son thinks they are balls or something. Tonight he thought it was hilarious that he threw each of his books across the room while we had people over looking at our apartment...parent of the year over here, I tell you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-hardcover-or-paperback-books-when-you-buy-childrens-books-for-your-kids#post-301303 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:24:23 +0000 Andrea 301303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: haha, I have never thought about that.

Do you remove the sleeves and put them away? My kids will immediately rip them off the book and I'm tired of having to put them back on the books all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-hardcover-or-paperback-books-when-you-buy-childrens-books-for-your-kids#post-301160 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 12:18:34 +0000 looch 301160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have only purchased board books so far, wait not true.
