About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to help your toddler or preschooler understand that Valentine's Day is about more than candy: it is about noticing and celebrating the unique things we love about our friends. It is a perfect choice for children who are beginning to navigate social circles and learning how to express specific appreciation for others. In this gentle board book, the beloved Mouse from the 'If You Give a Mouse a Cookie' series crafts handmade valentines for each of his animal friends. Each card highlights a specific positive trait, such as Moose's strength or Cat's neatness. This story serves as a wonderful primer for emotional intelligence, modeling how to look for the best in others and the joy found in creative giving.
