Pink and red and white, lace and frills, roses and chocolates! It's a love-ly time of year. Michael Hall's new book, My Heart is Like a Zoo, uses heart shapes to picture all kinds of animals and how they might feel.
Hall's website offers animations of the illustrations in the book that show how the animals are constructed. This book is a keeper, fun to look at, fun to read!
Henry in love, by Peter McCarty, is a snapshot of a small child's school day and includes big kids, schoolyard games and budding friendship. Henry, the cat, is smitten with Chloe, the prettiest girl in class. This book is great for children who don't like mushy stuff.
Suzanne Bloom's ode to friendship, A Splendid Friend, Indeed, is a clever and simple book about a quiet polar bear who is bombarded with questions and suggestions from a chatty goose.
Love reveals itself in mysterious ways. In Margaret Mahy's book, Tingleberries, tuckertubs and telephones, a shy orphan must overcome his reluctance to speak and find love and adventure.
Homemade Valetine's Day Cards are a time-honored tradition. Dress them up with this simple origami heart from Activity Village.
Friends from PBS - Clifford, Cuyrious George and others - share their Valentine's Day ideas on the PBS Kids website.
Love is everywhere! - especially at the library.
