Reach for this book when your child is experiencing the nervous excitement of a school holiday or the jitters that come with expressing affection for the first time. This classic collection of poems captures the quintessential elementary school Valentine's Day experience, from the sticky mess of glue and glitter to the secret thrill of receiving a card from a crush. The verses are lighthearted and rhythmic, making them perfect for reading aloud. Prelutsky masterfully balances the humor of childhood mishaps, like a dog eating a homemade card, with the genuine vulnerability of friendship and early romance. It is an ideal choice for normalizing the 'embarrassing' side of feelings while celebrating the joy of creativity. Parents will appreciate how it turns potential social anxiety into relatable, laugh-out-loud moments for children aged five to nine.
