Valentine’s Day Board Books for Little Ones

Lilly’s Chocolate Heart by Kevin Henkes

Lilly, the feisty mouse first featured in Kevin Henkes’ Lilly and the Purple Plastic Purse, is at it again in this Valentine’s Day board book. It’s Valentine’s Day evening, and Lily is all ready for bed, but first she needs to decide what to do with the one piece of Valentine’s Day candy she has left: a red-foil-wrapped chocolate heart. After searching all over her room for the perfect place to put the chocolate heart, Lilly finds a problem with each place. It’s too dusty, messy, warm, narrow, or tight. However, trust Lilly to come up with the perfect place – her mouth! The design of the book is very appealing, featuring white backgrounds for the colorful illustrations of Lilly and a different pastel color for each page of text. Three and four years old will enjoy this Valentine’s Day board book. Compare prices. (HarperCollins, 2004. ISBN: 9780060560669)
