Here is another Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond book. You all know the original If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and here he is again on Valentine’s Day.
I know that the Llama Llama books are a big hit with younger kids. They can relate to an anxious little Llama who learns that everything will be alright. And parents can relate to the Mama Llama who have cute little kids who worry.
We’ve all read this darling book but it now comes in a pop-up edition. You can now see just HOW much they love each other as they stretch their arms wide and with other fun pop-ups.
OLIVIA and the Perfect Valentine
The Olivia books have always been a favorite of mine. Enjoy this book with your kids as Olivia sets out to make the best valentines for her friends and family.
I just really enjoy this book. This book could be read during anytime of the year but the title is appropriate for Valentine’s Day. Inside you learn all about different kinds of hugs and kisses such as bear hugs and boo-boo kisses. Definitely a cute read for little kids.
I don’t know a child who doesn’t love Eve Bunting and Jan Brett books. These illustrations will not disappoint. These two bears always miss Valentine’s Day because they are hibernating, find out if they will miss it again this year.
In this story children learn that there are many great ways to say “I love you” and I personally love the illustrations.
What I love about this book is it talks about all different kinds of kisses. Worm kisses, fish kisses, you name it! Darling book!
And then there is also the perfect hug to go along with the biggest kiss. The same author and illustrator make this cute book for all kinds of hugs or all kinds of people.
If that title doesn’t make you want to pick this book up and read it, I don’t know what will. One of my all time favorite books in general.
Roses Are Pink, Your Feet Really Stink
In this silly titled book a little boy learns a thing or two about being nice after he writes to mean valentines to friends.
One of the best feel good books. Starts out with a old man Mr. Hatch and he finds out somebody loves him. But who could it be?
Amelia Bedelia’s First Valentine
Everyone has read an Amelia Bedelia book at least once and you know they are hilarious. These young Amelia Bedelia books are just as great.
