Nice Lesson Set During Valentine’s Day,
This is a nice small tale for children about effective together, that is set nicely during Valentine’s Day. Two small boys start to make a valentine for their teacher, but start to fight about what the other did “incorrect” and choose to go it alone. But when they aren’t really pleased with their solo results either, they choose to give it another go together.
The ultimate message is that while effective together sometimes means not having things exactly the way you would have done it, it also means being able to use one another’s strengths and talents to make something better than either would be able to make alone. And what they end up making is larger and better than either of them would have conceived of on their own.
The tale itself is pretty simplistic and the message is very accessible for young school-aged children. Doubtless best for preschool-age and older as a read-to-me book, or a excellent early reader book (doubtless 2nd grade level and up) to read alone.
The illustrations are nice — not anything spectacular or memorable as a standalone effort, but they tell the tale well. I like that the small boys show no issues with using pink hearts and glitter as befits Valentine’s Day — no needless attempt to have them make a “boy” valentine. They even dress their final attempt with lace doily.
That does a nice job at making this book accessible for both boys and girls.
The only thing that strikes me as a bit odd is the first page of the book, which says “Once here were two mice who fell in like with the same valentine, but it didn’t start out that way.” I don’t really see what that has to do with the rest of the tale and it doesn’t really make sense (I’ve tried to relate it, to no avail), but it doesn’t bother me that much, because I had forgotten about it by the end of the tale.
Overall, I reckon this is a nice read for a home tale, or for a classroom read.

|Kindergarten students like it!,
During February we talk about friendship in my kindergarten class. We brainstorm ways we can be a excellent friend, how to talk to one another and how friends must work together nicely and cooperatively. This book ties in PERFECTLY! It addresses all the above mentioned concepts of friendship and is general, a very sweet tale. My students loved it and wanted do again readings of it. You will not be disappointed in this tale. Due to the length/friendship conflict I would recommend it for ages 4 and up.

|Excellent- non-tv reputation holiday book.,
I like this book because the tale and illustrations are cute, but most of all because it isn’t just a television reputation holiday book. I reckon it has more staying power.
