One word of warning, however: DK baby bath books may contain phthalates which can be toxic. We have not been able to confirm this with the publisher, but there have been some customer reviews that have noted this. If you are concerned about the possible effects of phthalates you may want to wait to buy My First Word Bath Book (or other bath books, for that matter) until your child is out of the constant teething phase.
