Valentine's Day is fast approaching and here is a little gem of a book that would be a perfect gift to give for the occasion. This series of books highlight the special holidays and will surely bring a smile to your child's face. They are perfect for read-alouds and are written in rhyme. These books were penned by V.R. Duin and illustrated by Bonnie Lemaire.
Goopy, the main character, is ready to celebrate Valentine's Day. He has planned and decorated beautifully but something is missing. He doesn't have a friend to share this special day with and that makes him sad. The book opens with, "Our goopy, gooey orange ghost/Was feeling very glum." He decides to call upon Cupid and his magical arrows to help him find just the right friend to join in his celebration. His new friend does materialize but....then....the tale turns into a fabulous adventure of run away horses, search and rescue and just plain, all around, fun.
The illustrations are colourful, whimsical and animated bringing the text alive. The bold colours and expressions of the characters will be a big hit with a younger audience.
This book with the quirky little ghost will be a delightful addition to your Valentine Book collection! Check it out today.
Book rating: 8 (Fantastic)
