Taste ‘n’tell is a series of 10 books designed to help children who are fussy eaters to eat more fruit and vegetables
The unique thing about the taste’n’tell books is that each book has a clever plastic pot with a lid to put samples of the food for children to try.
Book 1- discovering fruit with Holly honeybee;
This book is made from really good quality thick cardboard that will stand up to years of handling by children.
The book has colourful photos of the fruit making it look appealing and tempting for children to taste.
The text on each page is written in rhyme and encourages children to open the pot and try what is inside. Book 1 is aimed at children aged 12 months and over.
Book 4- discovering vegetables with Veggie vole is aimed at slightly older children 1- 5 years, again the book is made from quality materials and the text is written in rhyme making it fun.
Along with the books comes with an instruction booklet for parents and practitioners to get the most from the products.
There are also taste’n’tell sheets of stickers
and a sticker table to put them on as a reward for tasting the food.
My eldest son wouldn’t try fruit and vegetables when he was young. I am sure that taste’n’tell would have helped me to persuade him to try them.
Taste’n’tell would be an asset to early years settings ( there is a reading, eating, learning nursery poster available).
I highly recommend taste’n’tell to everyone.
Disclosure: I was sent a taste’n’tell starter pack for the purpose of the review but all opinions are my own.
Books can be purchased with the plastic food pod, or without, prices vary accordingly
Additional stickers and replacement food pods are also available buy them here
As always questions/comments are welcome.
Until next time.

I think these books are amazing. Lots of children struggle with eating fruit and veg especially veg.the sample pots will make it fun to learn about the different food offered to them. Another very interesting review Karen
great idea. I think many times the hardest part is getting them to take that first bit #anythinggoes
What a great idea. My little girl goes through phases, but in the main she loves fruit and veg, thank goodness. But can certainly see the benefits of these! #TriumphantTales
What a great product! Perfect fo kids with food issues. #bloggerclubUK
What a lovely idea for a book and great for overcoming the fears of fussy eaters. #TwinklyTuesday
I love this idea to get kids to try foods. #alittlebitofeverything
This is such a lovely idea! For any child really to turn tasting new flavours into a positive experience – hopefully. Thanks for sharing with the #dreamteam 🙂
Although I can’t really see why these books would make tasting new foods more appealing, it’s still an interesting concept. And if it actually works, that would be fantastic! It would be interesting to hear from someone who’s actually used them with a child who’s not keen on their fruit & veg. #GlobalBlogging
I think it is a great idea to encourage a healthy knowledge of food. Thanks for linking up with #globalblogging
What a fab idea! My kids are going through a fussy stage and I’m sure this would help encourage them to try more food! #TwinklyTuesday
My kids, particularly my little one, is such a fussy eater. I wonder if this would help him eventually – he’s probably too young for it still at the moment! Thanks for linking up #KLTR
The books are recommended for age 12 months plus, so may be useful x
What an interesting concept for a book! I love how you can put the food in the pot to taste it. #kidsandkreativity
What a fantastic idea! I need this for my little boy! #kidsandkreativity
What a really great idea, wish i’d thought of it! Thanks again for linking up to #KidsandKreativity x
What a great idea! There’s nothing more frustrating than having a fussy eater, it can be very worrying too. This is a great way of bridging the gap, not making it an issue and making it fun to try new things. #KidsandKreativity
Oh wow this is such a clever idea for children that are fussy eaters, what a clever idea of having little pots on the page. So creative #KLTR
This is a really different idea and as the mother of a fussy eater I will happily try anything to try and get him to eat!! #KLTR
What a great idea for a book, so many young children have issues with trying new food.

I’ve not heard of these books before, but if my youngest becomes a fussy eater I need to remember these – what a clever idea #KLTR
