I adored this charming picture book by Carter Higgins! I can’t wait to stare this with my students for Valentines Day. From the already blown out wishes to lunch box PB & J students will relate to the ways we show others that we care - but of course they are NOT Valentines. A must own for classroom libraries.

January 2018 - I loved all the expressions of friendship, and the pictures reward careful attention. The ending felt a little bittersweet, though.

I loved this book! It was about all the ways a boy shows he loves a girl that is not in the traditional Valentines way. Would make a great elementary or one-on-one story.

Such a sweet and charming book! One of the other reviewers said it best - it's about all the ways that love can be expressed without typical "valentines" gifts and cards.
