Valentine Picture Books to Share with your Favorite Little Crush
Snuggle up and read every day but especially on Valentine's Day! Here are some all-time picture book favorites with the biggest awwww and the biggest laughs. #indyplkids
Love
A quiet book about the simple things we do daily to express our love for each other as well as a sharing of the things we do when times are hard or scary to support and love one another. In the words and actions of others is where we can see the spirit of love.
Here Comes Valentine Cat
Not a fan of mushy Valentines or the new dog neighbor next door, Cat has all kinds of reasons to NOT send a Valentine across the fence, unless it is one that say, "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Who's the Worst Neighbor? I think it's you!" Is Dog really that bad or are Cat's un-loving thoughts about Dog totally off base?
Valensteins
(a Love Story)
The monsters are quite disgusted at the thought of mushy Valentine stuff! When Fran K. Stein gathers art supplies to make a Valentine his friends can't figure out what he's making. "Is it a mask?" one of them asks. More funny lines follow from a cast of love averse Halloween characters. My favorite? The ghost's puzzled assessment of the heart shape. "It looks like a paper butt!"
