"On Valentine’s Day, Minna shares cards and
goodies with her classmates. As she and her brother walk home, they talk about
their day. Worried that their neighbors might not receive any valentines, they
formulate a plan to make cards for them. The story is illustrated with vibrant
cut-paper collages in brilliant colors. The characters are all rabbits in
various shades of brown, tan, and gray. Wallace has incorporated the history and
meaning of the holiday into the narrative and presents examples of celebrations
around the world. Directions for making Minna and Pip’s creations—a
flag with a butterfly, a heart mobile, and a tic-tac-heart game—are
depicted in the text and artwork, and readers will be inspired to make their own
versions. This exciting and beautifully illustrated book is a fine addition to
holiday
collections.
