What is the word for a "board book"?


Is there a common Japanese word for a board book? A board book has thick
cardboard pages instead of paper pages. A board books is usually written for
very young children.

(I looked in two different online dictionaries and also tried a Google
search.)

There is the katakana loan word
[ボードブック](http://d.hatena.ne.jp/keyword/%A5%DC%A1%BC%A5%C9%A5%D6%A5%C3%A5%AF):

> 本の紙が厚紙(ボード)で出来ている本のこと。幼児向けの本に多い。  
>  A book with pages made of cardboard. Usually for babies.

Since they are (almost) always picture books, you could probably also use the
word 絵本{えほん}, but to describe that it has thick (cardboard) pages, you can use
the word 厚紙{あつがみ} like in the earlier quote. I don't think 厚紙{あつがみ}絵本{えほん} is
a common word, but something like

could be used:

> **厚紙{あつがみ}のタイプの絵本{えほん}** を「ボードブック」と言います。
