Literally bought this on a whim while in the hospital with my newborn. It was already waiting for me when I got home because Amazon. This was the first book we read to my son and it was a great one to start with! A sweet story about perseverance and just trying your best. Also accurately reflected my husband’s arts and crafts skills. Lol! I highly recommend this book!

It’s a very simple book, so easy to read and point out what’s going on. I gave it to my 7mknth old for his first Valentine’s Day. He likes to look at it, mouth it and will pay attention while I read it to him.
Bookgirl
This is such a cute book. I read it to my class and they giggled so much. It definitely gets you in the feels!

Me and my daughter regular read Tiny T. Rex together... All the books. I am a little disappointed with this one because it isn't as long or as well developed. I don't do this to express dislike but I'm hopes that the stories continue. With more like the impossible hug. So please I do love you stories and they hold a special place with me and my toddler who loves tiny as much as I do.

ugh! I dislike the use of "perfect" in a child's book. Nothing is perfect. And when the MC fails to make the "perfect" valentine, after many attempts trying to achieve this goal, instead of the author giving a lesson to his young readers that a "perfect" valentine is unachievable, the recipient says it's okay because I have a "perfect" friend. The illustrations had me grab it out of a bargain bin for a future gift but the words make it a fail for me.
