An erasable, polymeric paged writing book for small children, with textured, flexible, bordered pages and an internal spine to spread the book flat. The pages have rounded corners. The book closes by hook-and-loop tab. The pages have a smaller profile than the covers, for resistance to wear and distortion. A fold-away pocket holds chalk and grease pencils. Optionally, a pleated storage compartment is on one of the covers. The pages have a smaller profile than the covers, for resistance to wear and distortion.

Various entertainment systems, that include a blanket, along with a flexible book that is removably attachable to the blanket, are described. Such flexible books may include a flexible cover and disposed within the flexible cover may be at least one flexible page. The flexible book may be constructed from a fabric. In some embodiments, the blanket may comprise at least one pocket for removable storage of the flexible book. In some embodiments, the blanket may be folded in half, creating a folder, wherein this folder may be used to removably store the flexible book. And irrespective of such flexible book storage with the blanket, the flexible book may be removably attached to the blanket using mechanical fasteners. Additionally, methods of use and methods of manufacturing for such blankets and flexible books are described, disclosed, and taught.
