I am a children s librarian at a medium-size public library in Ohio. We have recently purchased several of your books, the Valentine School Parties, the Halloween School Parties, and the Valentine Boxes. The last one caught my eye as it came across my desk, just in time for my daughter s second-grade party. I brought the Valentine Boxes book home and told my daughter, Sarah, to look through it and see what she would like to build. She decided on The Castle of Sweet Love. Sarah received many nice compliments on her box and said, 'No one had one quite like mine. --Barbara Scott, Children s Librarian, Bucyrus Public Library, Bucyrus, Ohio

This review is from: Valentine Boxes . . . What Do I Do? (Paperback)

What a book to keep romance in the air for any age and let the young children have fun in sharing valentines! We always want to be creative with what they put their valentines in. This book has so many suggestions for boys and girls. We encorporated these for our valentine parties and for cards in general- such as birthday card holders. Suggestion: Purchase the complete set.
