Judging by the bite marks covering Goodnight Moon, your little bundle devours books like nobody’s business.

Feed his hungry mind with a title from Squishy Press. The new local publisher puts out nibble-friendly books for babies that are made from nontoxic materials such as recycled paper and soy-based inks. The durable yet bendy paper also resists wear and tear.

Pages pop with Chicago photographer Steven Gross’s colorful, close-up portraits of kids of all races. The entertaining and relatable Silly Faces has photos of funny grimaces, while Opposites translates basic vocabulary (near/far, hot/cold) into French and Spanish.

Bold, eye-catching fonts will continue to captivate your child when he starts reading — and not eating — his words.

Available at Hazel, 1902 West Montrose Avenue, at Wolcott Avenue (773-769-2227 or hazelchicago.com); Little Green Baby, 4654 North Rockwell Street, between Leland and Eastwood Avenues (773-505-2066 or mylittlegreenbaby.com); online at squishypress.com, $12.
