Abstract
A soft book comprised of foam pages bound by a book binding portion and a plurality of page binding portions is presented. A front cover page, a rear cover page, and at least one page, each page may which may have a perimeter, are provided, with the pages forming a spine portion, with the book bound such that a portion of the perimeter each page may extend beyond the binding portions to provide a soft perimeter for the book so that it is safe, particularly for children. The pages of the book may include impressions or cutouts that may be made in various shapes. Cutouts may provide a puzzle-type game for children. Various binding materials may be used, preferably chosen to provide sufficient support for the flexible foam pages.
