We have accumulated a lot of holiday books throughout the years. What can I say my family loves to read. My mom always gets the girls book gifts for small holidays and I try to get some books as well. These are some of our current favorites.
Love Monster by Rachel Bright is such a cute book. While it isn’t exactly Valentine’s Day themed (we leave it out all year) it teaches kids its okay to be different.
Love Monster is a slightly hairy monster trying to fit in with the cuddly residents of Cutesville. But as it turns out, it’s hard to fit in with the cute and the fluffy when you’re a googly-eyed monster. And so, Love Monster sets out to find someone who will love him just the way he is. His journey is not easy—he looks high, low, and even middle-ish. But as he soon finds out, in the blink of a googly eye, love can find you when you least expect it.
I Need A Hug by Aaron Blabey is a new one in our household. I bought it for Margot this year and thought it was really cute. In I Need a Hug, a tiny porcupine just wants a cuddle. All of the other animals turn him away because of his prickly spikes. But finally the porcupine meets an animal who’s happy to hug — a snake! This book is perfect for Valentine’s Day or for any day you need a hug.
I’ll Love You Till the Cows Come Home is another new one. My mom bought this one for Margot this year. Love knows no bounds in this tender tribute to the depths of family love. For fans of Guess How Much I Love You—only funnier! This book extends the saying, “I’ll love you till the cows come home” to the humorous extreme. Along the way there are yaks in cadillacs, sheep setting sail, frogs on big-wheeled bikes, and more, in this great read-aloud. Margot loves animals so this little book is perfect for her.
Love From the Crayons is from the creators of the best seller The Day the Crayons Quit. The Crayon books are so funny and this one is no exception.
Love is yellow and orange. Because love is sunny and warm.
Love is purple. Because it’s okay to love outside the lines.
This special gift book, featuring all the The Crayons from The Day the Crayons Quit, explores the bright colors and subtle shades of love.
Junie b. Jones and the Mushy Gushy Valentine is a new series in our household. Maddie has really started liking having chapters read to her at bedtime. My mom bought this book for her for Valentine’s Day and she’s already enjoying it. I know Junie B. will be another favorite for us.
February 14—Valentime’s Day, as Junie B. calls it—is just around the corner. Junie B. can’t wait to see all the valentimes she’ll get. But she never expected a big, mushy card from a secret admirer! Who is this secret mystery guy, anyway? Junie B. is determined to find out. Only guess what? Finding a secret mystery guy is NOT as easy as it sounds! Can Junie B. solve this mushy, gushy mystery?
Pete the Cat Valentine’s Day is Cool is another favorite. Both my girls love Pete the Cat.
At first, Pete thinks Valentine’s Day isn’t cool…until he realizes all the special cats there are in his life.
Once Pete the Cat realizes how much fun Valentine’s Day can be, he decides to make valentine cards for his family and friends. But what happens when he realizes he’s forgotten to make a card for a very important cat?
All of these books are special for a special day. What’s your families favorite Valentine’s Day Book?
