My Furry Valentine

Animals demonstrate different ways of saying “Be my Valentine” in this small, gift-size offering. Die-cuts and flaps add an interactive dimension to gentle verse. Ladybugs “say it with spots,” in the shape of hearts; a pack of wolves says it by howling at the moon; and, behind a fence, two cows play banjo and tambourine, making “beautiful mooooosic.” Crocodiles say it “with smiles,” while a flock of birds flies “thousands of miles... to be home together.” Kids and adults alike should find the book's whimsy infectious. Ages 4–up. (Jan.)
