My son's current favorite book is "I'm Hungry!", a cute story about a little bear exploring different foods from around the world. Each page features a new cuisine with vibrant illustrations, from pasta in Italy to sushi in Japan - it makes me hungry every time!

This story goes well with his play food set, especially the tiny toy pizza and ice cream that appear in the story. He loves acting out the story by setting up his own little "restaurant" and "cooking" up a storm!

There's this cute little garden set that I got for my kiddo some time back which came with its own tiny rake and shovel. It's a hit during messy playtime! She loves pretending to cook up soil patch "noodles" with her little cookware set and often 'feeds' me and her plushies the yummy dirt dishes. Quite the cute little chef in the making!

The book that goes along perfectly with this garden set is *The Enormous Turnip*. It's a Russian folk tale about a gigantic turnip that the characters try to pull up from the earth. Lots of fun, and the illustrations are adorable too! My girl loves the surprise ending where the mouse pulls the turnip out with ease. A great story to go along with the gardening theme.

My son loved his plasticine and moulding sets, especially his homemade Play-Doh pizza set, complete with various toppings and miniature cutting knife. We'd spend hours making all sorts of wacky pizzas. It was fun reading him the story of *Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs*, a whacky tale about food falling from the sky. A lovely and comical combo that goes beyond the usual recipe books!

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.
My kids' favorite stuffies change all the time, but they always find comfort in their trusty sidekicks - some adorable creatures from their storybooks! I think it adds a nice element when toys have some background stories or personalities.
