One of my favorite Valentine stories! A silly twist at the end always gets a reaction from the kids.

This story is from Arthur the TV show. If you or your children enjoy the show this may be for them.

While this book is a Valentine's Day book is does not have much love other than Arthur wanting Sue Ellen to be his secret admirer and then his secret admirer sending him cards. It does have kids picking on one another for liking another and instead of thanking others for their Valentine they laugh and make fun. There is a lot of rejection as well in this book. Lastly, the picture are terrible.

Here is one of my last reviews from last year when I had to many to post and so I saved it a year.

The review:

It’s Valentine’s day and Arthur has a secret admirer. In trying to figure it out he experiences some embarrassment. It’s a rough day for him, but the day after Valentine’s Arthur figures out who it was. I have to say it’s an odd ending and I’m not sure what to make of it except secret admirers are not the way to go.

This is one of the original Arthur books, so his nose is longer and he looks more like an anteater. I like the early books best honestly. The setting & art is safe and cozy.

Neither the niece or nephew read this with me. Today, it’s all my opinion.

I read this book to students I tutored and it was great for talking about valentine's day and making predictions!
