Valentine’s Day Books for Children
I love giving books as Valentines…cavity and guilt-free is the way to go in my opinion. Plus books are the love notes that never stop giving!
Below are my favorites to read aloud to your sweet boy or girl.
Great Valentine Books Kids Will Love
Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch by Eileen Spinelli
This picture book illustrates how important it is to feel loved and make others feel they are loved. Kindness is a powerful and contagious thing, even under mixed-up circumstances. Now you and your valentine can enjoy watching actor Hector Elizondo read Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch on www.storylineonline.net. (You’ll want to bookmark that site!)
The I Love You Book by Todd Parr
Todd Parr’s dynamic, colorful illustrations are the perfect companion to his straightforward (and sometimes silly!) stories. These are great books to read to toddlers for this very reason, but older kids can definitely appreciate his jokes. My favorite page? “I love you when you hide my keys”.
Amelia Bedelia’s First Valentine by Herman Parish
This spunky girl has a new look thanks to Peggy Parish’s nephew, Herman. Because of the wordplay and puns, I would recommend it to kids in 1st – 3rd grade, or you’ll have a lot of ‘splainin to do to the preschooler.
Other Valentine Favorites:
Roses Are Pink, Your Feet Really Stink by Diane deGroat
The Day It Rained Hearts by Felicia Bond
Zombie In Love by Kellie DiPucchio

I love love love the weekend roundup. I can’t tell you how many times we missed something because I just didn’t know it was happening. We do so much more now as a family. It is an amazing resource for families in the area. Thanks Again!

I just want to “Reply” to all who’ve left us <3 notes today. Thanks so much. I felt a little weird about asking for compliments but they really have made my day. This job can be kind of lonely and it's nice to hear all the work isn't being wasted. LOVE hearing that so many people are enjoying it.
Happy V-Day Moms (and Dads)!
We love RCM too! Thank you!
I love the weekend roundups! I live outside of Huntsville, and it’s great to know what’s going on before I make the trip.
I love that RCM is local, and focuses on local things, so many blogs focus on events outside of there area. I live in HSV and want to know what’s going on in HSV.
Love all the listings of events going on!
I love that all the goings-ons are listed in one place! I also love seeing pictures/reviews of things and places that we are considering doing as a family.
I always give books for Valentine’s Day too! Also Easter. :]
Love the calendar for things to do on the weekends!
I love having a “one stop shop” for everything kid related in Huntsville!
My favorite thing about RCM is how all the readers help each other. It’s like a family. 🙂
I absolutely love all the resources especially the weekend round-up!!
I would love to win these tickets for my kiddies. Thank you for this giveaway!
I love that RCM keeps me in the loop on all the great things happening in Huntsville!
Great giveaway! Love your site and love learning about all the things to do in this area.
I love the weekend roundup. I’m thankful for the information provided all in one place. Thanks for the giveaway. My sons would flip if we won!
Thanks for the chance! My daughter would love to go!
Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch is an awesome title. I read it to my granddaughter and she adored it. I’ve read it 3x’s already! I also just read Max the Shelter Dog, although not a valentine pick per se, I mention it because she had a strong reaction to it and now she keeps begging me to adopt! It really helps teach compassion for animals.
