I can easily extend that to include toddler books. (When he breaks more complex or expensive toys, I still prefer to repair them than to see them mangled even further.) | |

It's also pretty irrelevant if it's hard to read or missing pages for a 2 1/2 year old's book, where he just likes the artwork. If he wants to keep it around as a comforter, I'd be fine with it. Reminds him how much he damaged it. | |
