Caveboy Crush (Beth Ferry)


 This could be a fun read on Valentine's Day....maybe. Mostly I avoid love stories. LOL 

Goodreads says;

Neander is a young caveboy. He spends his days doodling on cave walls, chasing mammoth butterflies, and playing with his pet rock, Rock. But one day, he meets Neanne—and he’s CRUSHED! She’s short, she’s hairy, she’s perfect! Neander does everything he can think of to get Neanne’s attention. He picks a bouquet for her from the Field of the Bees. He fetches a conch shell for her from the Waves of Salt. As Neander’s gestures get grander and grander, Neanne remains unimpressed. But then Neander hatches the grandest gesture of all, and it’s Neanne’s turn to do some crushing. From Beth Ferry and Joseph Kuefler comes this sweet celebration of first love—perfect for Valentine’s Day and read-alouds all year long.

Dinosaur Valentine (Donnelly)

 



I'm amazed at how kids will get mesmerized by a story....no matter how lame. This one did the trick on Valentine's Day.

It's Valentine's Day.
Rex and his trusty dog, Bones, are in the park when they receive an invitation to a party they will never forget. It's a Valentine's Day party - and it's being given by dinosaurs!

Porcupining: A Prickly Love Story (Lisa Wheeler)


This seemed like a great one for Valentine's Day! He sings a song again and again about his search for a wife.

I liked that the purcupine set a great example of kind words (okay, pretty nice words...he tried) with everyone he met.

My students were captivated by this story and had a good laugh.

Goodreads says:
What could be more poignant than a porcupine pining for a companion? With pun-filled prose and pleasing pictures, this passionate tale of love and friendship between two prickly creatures in a petting zoo makes a perfect read aloud (and a sublime Valentine).
