Editorial Reviews

Ollie wants a Valentine and asks each bird he sees if they have a Valentine for him, but they were given a Valentine by someone else. No one is left to give one to Ollie, so a final page shows his one unique Valentine. With his signature birds, Dunrea has created a simple book with a twist that will have tiny readers laughing. Each page shows a foil heart in a different color and the final spread shows an all-important mirror—important both to the plot and for getting readers involved in the story. Sturdy, board pages will hold up to many readings, as well as chewing and playtime. As a Valentine book, it is not too pink or girly and would be a wonderful seasonal read for all children. Libraries in need of more Valentine Day books for the littlest readers, or anyone wanting to share a simple story of friendship, will find this book just right.
