Blog update! We’ve recently added new books to our collection! Find new additional Valentine’s Day books at the end!
Hello and happy Monday, friends! If you haven’t realized this yet, Valentine’s Day is next month! Isn’t it crazy how Valentine’s Day pops up out of nowhere? I try to find ways to avoid candy in our house, so I’m always on the lookout for ideas and gift that I can give that isn’t candy-related. Books are a great Valentine gift idea for babies, toddlers, and kids of all ages!
I love having seasonal books on hand that we can read throughout the holiday month, or even all year long if we feel like it! These short stories make great additions to your child’s library, and can also double as a fun Valentine gift for them!
I love finding books on Amazon Prime, as they can be at my door within days of ordering them! Amazon makes filling up my kids’ bookshelf simple and we love having all of the options to choose from during our bedtime routine.

I Love You, Little Pookie
Finishing off our list is our favorite little piggy, Little Pookie! I Love You, Little Pookie is a short and overly sweet story of Mama explaining to Little Pookie why she loves him so much. Little Pookie books are an excellent option for babies and toddlers!
Recently, we’ve added a few more books to our Valentine’s Day collection! Since my older two kids are reading on their own now, we’ve added some books that are more on their reading level!
Dinosaur Kisses
This book may be on the easier side as far as reading goes, but my toddler is all about Dinosaurs at the moment, so this rowdy little Dinosaur is right up his alley! “Dinosaur Kisses” follows Dinah, a newly hatched T-Rex who goes about trying to perfect the art of kisses, while attempting and failing in the cutest of T-Rex ways.
Happy Valentine’s Day Curious George
We’ve been big fans of Curious George ever since my kids began watching him on PBS Kids in their early years! So adding “Happy Valentine’s Day Curious George” to our collection was a no-brainer! In this book we follow George as he is setting up for a Valentine’s Day party, getting into plenty of monkey mischief along the way!
A Charlie Brown Valentine
It’s Valentine’s Day and Charlie Brown is trying to find the courage to talk to the Little Red-Haired Girl. Will he be brave enough to deliver his Valentine or ask her to dance with him at the school dance? Anything is possible with Snoopy and all of his friends!
