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!
I've had good success with liking Sally Huss books. 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 a real heart-to-heart, from the hearts of people and animals, to the heart of an apple. even a butterfly, as Sally points out, has a heart - after a fashion. I liked it and think it's a great idea as long as you share it with your kid so you can both enjoy it and each other. it's what makes your heart beat.
