Valentine's Day
Exploring the holiday of hearts and the fun of sharing Valentines.
By Jamie McElroy
Love it or loathe it, Valentine's day comes every year. These stories tell the sweet, funny, and endearing tales of young love and friendship. There is more to this holiday than chocolate and cards as young readers will soon discover with these heartwarming adventures. The Valentine Bears and Clifford's Valentine's Day have both stuck with me since childhood. Hopefully they will stay with your readers as well!
