Educational board book featuring seven tomato varieties with playful rhymes and vibrant illustrations. Customers said it's "adorable" and "durable" with thick pages perfect for toddlers. Some noted advanced vocabulary may not suit younger ages, and one child lost interest quickly. Popular as a unique gift for foodie families and gardening enthusiasts.
Customer service was great, and the book is adorable
I ordered the Little Book of Tomatoes as a gift for a friend who loves food and has two small boys, and it was perfect! It's a cute, clever foodie board book with fun illustrations and a charming style. They absolutely loved it, and it makes a great little gift for anyone who enjoys cooking or playful kitchen-themed books.
My little one absolutely LOVES tomatoes. When I saw this book - I knew she had to have it.It's adorable - and covers tomatoes even I haven't heard of!She loves the book and now is determined to try them all! I love how durable it is - a great addition to any early library!
This is so fun! I LOVED tomatoes growing up so when I saw this book I knew it was a need! It is great quality and has the cutest look tomatoes! It is both fun and educational! I love that it teaches about each tomatoes and shows accurate pictures! It is so colorful and easy to understand! This is such a cute and educational book!
As a family that enjoys gardening, I thought this "Little Book of Tomatoes" would be a fun addition to our kid's bookshelf. It's a very well-made board book, and the illustrations are fantastic—really vibrant colors that make the different tomatoes pop off the page.The rhymes are fun and clever, but this brings me to my one main critique and the reason for the 4-star review: the vocabulary does not match the 0-4 age range. Words like "saucier's," "oblong," and "heirloom" are not what you'd typically find in a board book.To be clear, this isn't a bad thing. It's just a book that you will be reading to your child for many years, not one they are going to learn to read themselves anytime soon.That said, for a family of foodies or gardeners, it's a charming and unique book that's priced very reasonably for its quality. It's a great find. Just be warned: reading it will almost certainly make you crave a big beefsteak tomato sandwich on white bread with a slather of Duke's Mayo.
I love when a kids book is just as fun for adults, and this one totally is. It's such a cute idea and we actually learned a lot about different types of tomatoes, which is perfect since we're growing some ourselves. The illustrations are adorable, the quality of the book is great, and it's sturdy enough for little hands. Definitely a favorite in our house.
I purchased this book for my 3-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter, and it has quickly become a favorite in our home. It is both educational and entertaining, with playful rhymes that highlight tomato varieties I grow myself, such as roma, beefsteak, and cherry, which added a personal touch I truly appreciated as a tomato gardening enthusiast.My son is captivated by the illustrations, while my daughter uses the book to practice her reading skills. The pages are thick and durable, holding up well to toddler handling. The artwork is cheerful and well-matched to the content, and the compact 6-by-6-inch size makes it easy for little hands to hold and flip through.Overall, I am pleased with this book and would gladly recommend it to other parents or gardening families!
This book is exactly as described. It is, quite literally, just a delightful little book about different types of tomatoes. No lessons, no morals, just tomatoes. It's super unique, and I do really love the colors and the art style as well. Definitely a great option for tomato lovers or if you're trying to expand a child's library!
Cute book with vibrant colors and well done art, although I would have liked it if the rhyming were a little more clever. If you are looking specifically for a book on tomatoes - get it! It's worth the money. ...but for your general book collection, I'd look for something that feels more special. Also, we've used it only a few times so far, and the pages aren't laying flat anymore. I love children's books and would say I have a high quality standard, so unlike my pickiness - I do think most people would be just fine with this.
This summer was all about tomatoes, so how perfect is this book to help learn about them! The illustrations are vivid and welcoming, the rhymes are cute and the information is really easy to grasp! You'll learn about many different types of tomatoes, from their names to their colors, to their shapes and sizes. This is a board book, and is a great quality at that, so it should hold up to lots of reading and playtime. The pace of the book is also good, I didn't feel like it was rushed and at no point did it lose the attention of the kiddos. Highly recommend these Chunky Deli books!
Nice board book for babies/toddlers! The art is cute and captivating. I (an adult) had not heard of most of these types of tomatoes so it was educational for me too! Would make a good gift for little ones that show interest in the kitchen.
I love board books for kiddos. A fun way to learn a variety of tomatoes especially if your kiddo is interested in gardening. This would be a cute gift with some seeds for a little one. The pics are adorable and simple which is perfect for a learning mind.
This book is just the cutest! This book is such a fun way to teach children about tomatoes. The pictures are big, colorful, and adorable, and the rhymes are brief but playful. Adults will have a lot of fun reading this book to children, and children will enjoy it without growing restless. I highly recommend! I can't wait to read the other books in the series; the Little Book of Pasta is next on my reading list!
Perfect for an upcoming baby shower...heirloom tomato theme.
Super cute for a vegetable themed gift.
Bought as a gift, but I'm sure she'll love it!
Super cute and educational board book for toddlers. The illustrations are bright and engaging, and the pages are thick and durable. Simple language makes it easy for young children to follow along. Perfect addition to early learning libraries.
So cute! Bought this for my Nephew and they are perfect!
I mean it's cute, but besides its size, it's not really toddler or baby friendly. My 2.5 year old grandson loves tomatoes and he loves books and anyone reading books to him. Over and over again. My husband read him this book and he got through two pages and my grandson got down and chose another book. He hasn't ever done that with any book before.
This board book is clever, colorful, and surprisingly engaging. The illustrations are bright without being overwhelming. Pages are thick and sturdy, which is ideal for little hands. The theme feels playful and different from typical baby books. Text is minimal and easy to follow. It holds attention well during short reading sessions. The size is perfect for small shelves or diaper bags. A fun addition to any early book collection.
Little Book of Tomatoes
This is so freaking CUTE!!! My 1yo loves tomatoes. I grabbed this as a joke because she is always eating tomatoes so I thought it would be a fun little memory for us to reference. She is now asking me to read this several times a day, she loves the pictures and points to colors. I did not think this book was going to become the staple it has become in our collection but it is definitely a surprise hit. I love the story telling of the different types and look forward to our tomato garden to get started.
