Teagan’s Likeable Literature: Dwell Studio’s Books Review & Giveaway

Welcome our That’s IT Mommy friends, Jill and Theo to Teagan’s Likeable Literature! The following books are from Dwell Studio and they are all published by Blue Apple books and distributed by Chronicle books.

I’ve been a longtime fan of Dwell Studio’s colorful textiles. They feature great simple, clean designs in crisp modern colors and patterns. I could use them in every room in my home but I am especially fond of them for kids’ rooms. Never a fan of the traditional baby pastels or gender-specific designs, Dwell Studios has offered me inspiration for an affordable way to express design creativity in my preschoolers’ lives.

Well, Dwell is extending their cool design aesthetic to baby board books and disposable bibs!

Dwell Studio’s Bibs To Go is a book of 20 full-sized, disposable, waterproof bibs that can be easily torn out as needed. Adorned with cool illustrations – including a funky taxi and bus design, a muted animal profile design, a pea pod close up, a three carrot close up and birds in tree. All great options that would look adorable, yet not overwhelm any cute outfits your baby may be sporting for a night out on the town. I tried the bibs out on my two year-old but unfortunately I think he is just a bit too old. He is currently a fan of dressing himself for mealtime. The tab closure of these bibs certainly demands parental intervention. These bibs would have been great for my kids when they were newborn to 18 months. Retailing for $12.99 the book of bibs would make a fun, shower present for a new mom.

The other Dwell books I got to review are entitled Go, Eat and Touch & Feel Town. Each book offers big, bright, colorful pictures with simple one word text on each page. There are at least three images in each book that I would love to rip out, frame and hang on my walls. My two year-old and I enjoyed using the books to build his speech and newly developing color identification skills but I think they would be equally fun for younger babies. Books are published by Blue Apple Books and distributed by Chronicle books. Ranging in price from $6.99-$8.99 these books would be a great addition to any cool kids’ nursery library.
