It's never too early to learn about love.
A shelf full of new children's books celebrate Valentine's Day with hugs and kisses for pets, parents and friends:
In this interactive book, Pepper the puppy gets in the way of his child friend Lily's Valentine's Day party planning. But in the end, he gets a special treat.
For all the young Hannah Montana fans out there, this booklike item is a collection of punch-out valentines and stickers to give to crushes and friends. Tweens can be a groupie of the hit Disney TV show with valentines such as: "From one superstar to another ... Happy Valentine's Day!"
A kitten travels around the world to give hugs to every living thing he can find, from a squirrel to a baobab tree. His plan to give the whole world a hug takes him from Africa to the North Pole on an eye-opening embrace-a-thon. The book comes from the creator of the popular "Mutts" comic strip.
In this book about art and love, young Lily learns that mistakes can be beautiful. None of her valentines come out perfectly, but she finds a way to give Mommy something even better than a single heart cutout.
All animals get a verse-worth of smooching in this book about love between turtles, rhinos and even a Jersey cow. The series of quick poems bring new meaning to "love birds" on the penguin page, for example. "She waddles the isle / in high penguin style, / holding a snow-white bouquet. / Her ivory dress / cost thousands, no less ... / or that's what the sea lions say." ... And guess what the penguin groom wore?
Who better to celebrate Valentine's Day with than your tiny toy pets? This activity book lets children connect the dots, decode secret messages, look for hidden hearts in a picture and more. The answers are in the back ---- but no cheating!
