My two-year-old daughter loves her wooden kitchen set, and I often find her "cooking" up a storm these days! She also loves books with lots of pictures of food, recipes, or dining-related stories.

Her favorite toy and book combo has got to be her toy cookware set and the storybook *One Hungry Monster* ** - such a cute tale about a monster who loves eating all kinds of food from pasta to ice cream! It's so adorable watching her 'cook' alongside the hungry monster, 'tasting' the delicious foods as I read.

We also love *The Very Hungry Caterpillar*, another classic story about food and a firm favorite in our household! That story never gets old, and the illustrations are so vibrant and fun. Little hands can't help but reach for all the yummy pictures!

I'm pleased to join in on the fun!

My little one is obsessed with his wooden train set, especially the bright red steam engine, which he has affectionately named Rodney (don't ask me how that name came about; it remains a mystery!). Anyway, Rodney's adventures are much more enjoyable with the brilliant book, *The Little Engine That Could*. It's an adorable story about a determined little train engine that takes us on so many fun journeys. The illustrations are endearing, and the message about perseverance is a great one for little ones (and a good reminder for us adults too!).

The train set provides the perfect playmate for Rodney's adventures, and my son often sets up little tracks around the living room, creating his own mountains and tunnels for Rodney to chug through. It's adorable to see him use his imagination like that!

My little one absolutely adores her stuffed toys and has this cute little unicorn which she calls " Rainbow". So many stories have featured this magical horned creature, but her favorite is "A Magic Rainbow Dream" It's a wonderful book that takes kids on a journey to a fantasy world filled with colorful rainbows and whimsical characters. She begging for a pet unicorn now though...that's gonna be a hard no from me!

What's your kid's favorite toy/book combo?

*The Very Hungry Caterpillar* is such a lovely classic, a story and visual feast for little ones! I love how interactive and educational Eric Carle's stories are.

My older son swears by The Very Hungry Caterpillar and his stuffed animal, Eric Carle's hungry caterpillar plush toy. He calls them his "sleeping buddies" and refuses to part with either one at bedtime. As for my younger kid, he's obsessed with anything Batman, especially the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Batmobile: The Penguin Chase 76139 building kit and the corresponding graphic novel. He likes feeling like a superhero while constructing his own batmobile!

That's sweet that your son has such cozy sleeping buddies. My kids also love stuffed toys, the softer the better! Batman's a cool guy I like how he keeps the storyline engaging with all the gadgets and action. Penguin's a quirky villain, a nice contrast to the dark and brooding Batman.

That's cute. My feet are planted firmly on the ground, so I wouldn't know about sleeping with toys at that age. But my son had some weird combinations too - his favourite was a stuff toy sheep accompanied by The Lord of the Rings book, which he "borrowed" from my bookshelf. Kids and their quirky preferences, ah?
