Here are some books to let your little ones know that you love them.
“Happy Valentine’s Day Mouse” by Laura Numeroff
Mouse from Numeroff’s classic “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie” is making Valentine’s cards for all of his friends! In board book format, each page is dedicated to why Mouse loves each of his friends.
“Llama Llama I Love You” by Anna Dewdney
‘Llama Llama valentines. Cupids, lace, and heart designs. Make a card for every friend. Some to give…and some to send.’ Perfect for your budding reader to follow along with the fun rhyme!
“Pete the Cat: Valentine’s Day is Cool” by Kimberly James Dean
Pete the Cat doesn’t think Valentine’s Day is very cool until he starts making cards for everyone he knows—then he starts to have fun! Your valentines don’t have to be Martha Stewart worthy for your friends to like them. What’s even better is that this book has Valentine’s Day cards included for your child to give to his or her friends.
“Hug Machine” by Scott Campbell
A little boy who calls himself “the Hug Machine” hugs everyone and everything: bears, turtles, trees, family and friends. To the porcupine who asks, “What about me? I am so spiky. No one ever hugs me.” Our hugging hero says, “They are missing out!” Even the prickliest of friends will be warmed by a hug (and this book) this Valentine’s Day.
The Very Fairy Princess Follows Her Heart by Julie Andrews and Emma Walton Hamilton
Geraldine’s favorite day is Valentine’s Day because she can use “TONS of glitter, sequins, and feathers” to make valentines for her friends. When she takes her daddy’s work folder to school instead of her folder filled with the valentines she worked so hard to create, her day is sure to be ruined! But very fairy princesses always know what to do in a sticky situation, and she improvises. Julie Andrews’s writing and storytelling is practically perfect in every way.
