live laugh LOVE chunky deli

as I've stated before elsewhere I adore all the chunky deli books. They are high quality sturdy board books. But also fun and educational. Totally different than the board books I've been accustomed to. I love that these teach kids and us adults about different foods, and can bring awareness to things normally they wouldn't have in their diet. Which I think later helps encourage adventurous eating and not being such a picky eater.Something as a picky eater I'm striving to make sure my children aren't like me and want to try new things and foods. Not avoid them just because they look “different” early exposure is key even if it is just photos and talking about different foods. Kids are a like sponges and will absorb all the knowledge you give them, if you have it yourself.

Big hit with toddlers

Pasta! Cheese! Mushrooms! All things that my toddlers love! And honestly, these are also food that most toddlers love. my cheese obsessed 3 yr old loves hearing and learning about all the different cheeses. My 4 yr old is really into the pasta book, especially the pronunciation guide. They can't actually read yet, but I love the exposure to seeing how to decipher these pronunciation write-outs (syllables, where the emphasis should be). They both love the fungi book since we have a vendor at the local farmer's market that sells a huge variety of fungi. They can bring their book and see the real life versions of what is shown in the book.I think this is a great set and I definitely recommend to get for your own kids or to gift.

Pasta, cheese, and fungi - the three main food groups!

This Little Books Tasty Collection is the cutest little board book set for future gourmets. My son and DIL will be expecting in 2026. They're multicultural, multilingual, and multifaceted so in addition to the old favorites that I've kept from his childhood, I'm adding books on food, space, insects, animals, languages, science, etc. They're also foodies so these books should be a hit with them, if not with the baby! I mean... who doesn't like pasta, cheese, and fungi, right?!

This Set of little Tasty Collection Book box set is great! I got it for my grandson. It's pretty educational, which I love. The pictures are colorful and vibrant and inviting. It catches the kids eyes. The quality is extremely high. The value for its price is quite high, but it is worth it! I do recommend. I give it a 4.5 out of 5.

Books for little ones

Great gift for new parents. The book content is educational and simple to learn. The product came in neatly packed and sturdy. The materials are solid and hardback. The design is colorful, minimalism, and catchy. However, for $40 with 3 books, I do believe it's on the higher end price, but given the material and quality out there, your children deserve nicer things! You get what you pay for. I 100% recommend this.

Adorable set, my toddler loves it

I've been eyeing this book set for a while because the concept is just so endearing. This is the cutest little set of books and my toddler is in love with them. I like the rhyming schemes, and I love that they have pronunciations in the pasta one. They are the perfect size for tiny hands and the illustrations are so sweet. I like the variety too. We're hoping that this gets out toddler into trying different types of foods, but so far it's made her just ask for macaroni and cheese every time she reads it. Still, we're hoping that next time she sees a mushroom or feta cheese she's willing to give it a try! That being said, they are a tad bit pricey for toddler books. I usually think a set would be cheaper, but they seem a little expensive.

Extremely cute, well made board books!

Highly recommend this small cute board book set celebrating special foods.The box and books are well made; the "pages" stuck together the first time books were opened but none were damaged by this.Great gift or great purchase for extra baby reading material.

Little foodie's beginning with 3 pack board book set

So I saw one of these books a few days ago in person. Then was thrilled to find it in a 3 book set!I so vividly remember a book that had the alphabet in it when I was a child with grapes for the letter G. I thought this is such a fun modern take that incorporates food and specific cheese, pasta and mushroom types. It will be such a thrill for them to articulate the type of pasta, mushroom or cheese that they would like to have.It is a nice variety for us reading and we may even learn a thing or 2 with our little ones.The board books has the typical shape, weight and durable page nature as expected. This is the same for the spine and rounded edges.Would go out of my way to find more in this collection because they are unique and fun. It can be tough to find books to add to little ones libraries as they move through the toddler years with so many classics already in their collection. This is a marvelous addition for the child of any foodie!

OBSESSED with this book set!

This is probably my favorite book set my son owns. It combines two things I love, and three things my husband loves: fungi, cheese, and pasta! These books are amazing. I love that for the cheese book they phonetically spell out how to say that cheese so you're saying it correctly to your kid. I love that they talk about how long each cheese needs to develop. The pasta book also is amazing. I love how bright and vibrant the colors are and the character designs. They have clever ways of incorporating easy to understand language for kids so you can continue to use these books until they're 3-4 years old. I like that fungi book because it's not something that I would typically think about to introduce to my kid but it makes sense! I also love how each book teaches you about the foods and how to pronounce them. This was a good way for me to introduce some of our favorite foods to baby before he starts to try them. I think this little set would make a great gift for any foodie friend, chef, or person who loves to cook. It's a clever way to help your kid learn all about various foods! I hope that in the end learning about them makes him more willing to try them. Overall, I've always been happy with Chunky Deli products but this book set it by far my favorite item I own by them. This is a great book set with education, color, and easy to understand language.
