I realize Valentine's Day is long over, but I want to put this up so I have it for quick reference next year.
Froggy's First Kiss by Jonathan London - This one caught my eye because I call my little sister Froggy. If I had been more on my game I would've mailed her a copy. :) Froggy has a crush on a cute frog named Frogilina (isn't that perfect?), who reciprocates his affection. Froggy feels great about the whole thing until Frogilina surprises him with a kiss.
The Day It Rained Hearts by Felicia Bond - This darling book details Cornelia Augusta and how she makes Valentine's for her friends. I love the illustrations so much that I bought us our own copy.
A String of Hearts by Laura Malone Elliott - Sam learns how valuable of a friend Mary Ann is when she offers to help him make a great Valentine for Tiffany, his crush. Such fun illustrations and a good little lesson on how lovely friends are.
Queen of Hearts by Mary Engelbreit - I did not anticipate that I'd enjoy a Mary Engelbreit book but this had such fun illustrations and fonts that it was quite engaging! Ann Estelle is so focused on having a magnificent valentine box that she forgets to make valentines altogether.
Little Bear's Valentine by Else Holmelund Minarik - Little Bear makes valentines for all those he loves best, then tries to figure out who his secret admirer is. Just a sweet story with old timey art.
Here Comes Valentine Cat by Deborah Underwood - This is TJ's favorite of the bunch. Cat interacts with the narrator to explain about the terrible dog next door. Especially entertaining when read with great voices.
Plant a Kiss by Amy Krouse Rosenthal - Our favorite of the bunch! Darling rhymes, simple text, engaging art. We also bought a copy of this one and have read it many times.
Happy reading!
