Description
Little Mouse follows his big sister around the house early one February morning, wondering just what she's doing with the "smooth and rosy," "sticky and goopy," and "white and holey" things she searches for and finds. Finally, after a little paper folding, paste brushing, and lace smoothing, Mouse has his answer. "Little Mouse," his sister calls. "This valentine is just for YOU on Valentine's Day." Fans of Lauren Thompson and illustrator Buket Erdogan's other Mouse books,
Mouse's First Christmas and
Mouse's First Halloween, will be tickled pink to see this duo's Valentine's Day title. Soaked in Valentine reds, pinks, and purples, with text playfully wrapping around Mouse's tail or over his ears, this entertaining little picture book is just the thing to introduce young ones to the holiday or to inspire a creative afternoon of valentine-crafting for friends and family. (Ages 2 to 5)
