From Booklist

Jasper, a long-eared rabbit, is worried about Valentine’s Day. He can’t seem to find the right gift for his wife. The search leads him to see if he can pick up ideas from the other residents of the valley. The porcupine family tries teaching him to knit a scarf like they’re making for Mother, but Jasper is a butterfingers. Miriam is giving her husband chocolate-covered flies, but she’s a frog. Teagan the fox wants to make Jasper part of a present to his wife: rabbit stew. After his escape, Jasper tells a cardinal that he fears he’ll never find a present, but the bird shows him how he’s already provided one. The big payoff—as he walked to various houses, Jasper’s footsteps have outlined a heart—is diminished by the fact that it will be hard for young ones to actually make out the shape of the heart. That’s too bad, because the rest of the story is quite sweet, and punctuated with bits of humor and suspense. Petersen, the creator of the Mouse Guard comics, makes his picture-book debut here. Preschool-Grade 1. --Ilene Cooper

I read this book with my sons and we all liked it very much. The message is that Valentine's Day is about love, not about buying gifts. I highly recommend this.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE THIS BOOK! January 13, 2012
Format:Hardcover
Snowy Valentine is a sweet picture book, and funny too! The story is cute and the pictures are beautiful. I have two sons aged 4 and 6 and they loved this book (It helped that the fox was named Teagan...which is my son's name)! I liked that this book is suitable for boys and girls...(not too girly like some of the Valentine's day books out there). It is definitely one of our favorites, great for any time of the year, but especially sweet for Valentine's Day. I would definitely recommend this one...

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute! December 19, 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
David Petersen's Mouse Guard got me hooked on his art style, and I haven't looked back. This story is as wonderfully illustrated as everything else he's produced. And the story is heart-melting-ly adorable. Here's hoping to see it become a new classic!
