About This Book
When your young child is curious about Valentine's Day and you want to introduce the holiday as a celebration of friendship and kindness, this is a perfect interactive choice. The story follows Nicky the cat as he delivers valentines to his friends, who are hidden behind flaps. Each page presents a sweet little mystery, encouraging participation and prediction skills. It gently introduces the concept of Valentine's Day by focusing on sharing affection with friends, making it an ideal, non-romantic first book about the holiday for toddlers and preschoolers. Its simple, repetitive text and engaging format make it a warm and joyful read.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focuses on platonic friendship and the simple act of giving. It is a very safe and gentle introduction to the holiday.
Ideal Reader
A toddler or preschooler (ages 2-4) who is tactile and enjoys interactive lift-the-flap books. This is an excellent choice for a child's first exposure to Valentine's Day, especially if the parent wants to frame the holiday around friendship rather than romance. It's also great for developing early prediction and object permanence skills.
