4.0 out of 5 stars Simple and cute, February 12, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Story of Valentine's Day (Hardcover)
This is a cute little story that explains to children why we have a Valentine's Day and why we celebrate it with cards and goodies. I wasn't really sure myself, so after reading the story I did some research on the internet and stumbled across this little book.

"Long ago, in the city of Rome, there lived a man named Valentine. He was kind and all the children loved him..." The story briefly tells about the king who wanted everyone to be in his army and not have families. Valentine tried to help the young men and women and got thrown in jail by the king. People were sad to see him in jail so they sent him cards. The story says that Valentine sent a card back and signed it "From Your Valentine." The story goes on to explain that "On Valentine's Day we show our love for our friends and family with gifts and cards... we remember that all God's children should love one another."

My kids enjoy this story, but they never ask me to read it, which is why I gave it four stars instead of five. (The Valentine book they ask to read most often is "The Ballad of Valentine").

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECT book for preschoolers, February 19, 2007
This review is from: The Story of Valentine's Day (Hardcover)
When trying to explain the meaning of Valentine's Day to a preschool class I was at a loss for what I could read to them. This book explains it well and is the perfect length holding their interest!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for wide range of ages, February 16, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Story of Valentine's Day (Hardcover)
My 5 yr old daughter loves to hear the story of who St. Valentine was, and I just simplify it for my 16 month old--she loves the pictures of hearts. These kids keeps bringing me the book to read over and over again! My oldest is also learning to read, so she can help me read some words.
