Rating: WORTHY!
It's early, perhaps, for a valentine-oriented book, but if the stores can bring out the Valentine's Day massacre of goods the day after New Year's, then surely I can review a couple of children's books on the theme in January, before I forget!
This and the other I review today are both by Sally Huss, and I've had good success with liking those. They're perky and light, colorful and entertaining for the age group. They're poetic (after a fashion, but in a way which children love) and most importantly, they carry always carry a positive message.
This one is dedicatedly about sending valentines, and it doesn't discriminate in any way as to who you should give one to. Everyone is eligible. The author spells out 'valentines', and offers a warm idea as to what each letter really means. I liked the way this was put together and the fact that it was longer than some children's books tend to be, so there's lots to see and read. It's really a valentine to valentines, and it's a worthy read.
