7 Valentine's Day Books For Kids That Are So Cute You Will Love Reading Them All Year Long

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays. It is not as glamorous as Christmas, granted, or as cool as Halloween. But the day has perks. Like the chocolate. Valentine's Day chocolate is awesome. 

Another great thing about V-day is that you can get so many wonderful kids' books. Books that remind kids about love and being kind to one another. Books that teach kids to care about each other.

So I have listed some adorable Valentine's books for preschoolers and first-graders. However, don't get me wrong. Any kid or grown-up will enjoy these stories. And some chocolate.  Definitely some chocolate.

The Night Before Valentine's Day by Natasha Wing is from her collection of 'Night Before' books (which are, of course, based on the all-time classic, Night Before Christmas!) In this story, kids are getting ready for their Valentine's Day classroom party. Which means making cards, and planning games and activities. On the day of their party, a surprise visitor arrives with a Valentine's Day gift for the whole classroom. A fun book for kids and parents of all ages!!

If you are looking for a perfect Valentine's Day book for toddlers, Llama Llama I Love You by Anna Dewdney is perfect! The character, Little llama, wants to show his friends and family how much he loves them with heart-shaped cards and lots of hugs. 

A Crankenstein Valentine by Samantha Berger.  Crankenstein is the grumpiest kid ever, who only speaks monster-speak. And he is green. Children's author Samantha Berger has written a wonderful series of these books for Kindergartners on up. So anyone who has read other Crankenstein books is definitely going to love this one as well, as they find out if Crankenstein will change his monster-like ways for Valentine's this year.

The Yuckiest, Stinkiest, Best Valentine Ever by Brenda Ferber. I love this book because girls and boys are going to laugh out loud when they read it.  Kids are going to love reading about Leon, who has decided he wants to give a girl he likes a special Valentine.

Pete The Cat: Valentine's Day is Cool By Kimberly and James Dean. Pete the Cat does not like Valentine's Day. But with a little help from a friend, he soon changes his mind. Most Preschoolers and Kindergartners already know Pete the Cat from other books in the series, and will no doubt enjoy reading about Pete's Valentine's Day adventure.

The Day It Rained Hearts by Felicia Bond. This is such a sweet book, I had to add it to my list. It is about a little girl named Cornelius Augustus who finds herself catching hearts that fall from the sky one day. She then decides to make special Valentines for her animal friends - each valentine is just as special and unique as each of her friends. This is the kind of book you will want to read with your little Valentine all snuggled up in bed.

4 Easy Valentine Dessert Ideas For Gifting and Sharing

Valentine's Day is not just about flowers and chocolate candy. Nope, we cannot forget about Valentine sweets. 

I'm talking about those wonderful sweet Valentine's Day fancy dessert recipes we get to bake and eat. 

Starbucks Secret Valentine's Day Frappuccino Menu

Forget shopping for cards and teddy bears on Valentine's Day this year. Starbucks secret Valentine's Day menu has been revealed, and rest assured, there will be plenty of pink and chocolaty goodness served up in their new Frappuccinos.

Tony Aguilar, a Tuscon-based Starbucks barista came up with the new Valentine's drinks. Samples were handed out to customers, and immediately the new flavors were a huge success. Aguilar wrote on Redditt about his yummy creations, saying he was "surprised with how popular they became."

The three Valentine's Frappuccinos even have awesome names. However, be sure to know the ingredients in each one when you go to order yours. Remember, they are secret, so baristas may not recognize the names. They will understand what drink you are referring to though when you describe it to them.

My Yandy Valentines!

** A note here: The links in this post take you to a site where little eyes should not really be -- so please make sure no tiny tots are leaning over your shoulder trying to see! **

Olalala....I am a happy girl today! I got an early Valentine's Day present which I just happened to pick out all by myself!

Thanks to the coolest lingerie boutique ever...Yandy.com, and Family Review Network, I had the treat of doing a little Valentine's Day shopping just for moi! Can you see me grinning, can you?

So, let me tell you about my "Yandy" shopping spree. First,I have to say just checking out all the amazing Lingerie available on Yandy was exciting. There is a huge range of lingerie from downright risque (sorry hubbs---this was my Valentine's Day gift for me--not for you, hehe!) to super comfy PJ's and robes (now we're talking!). They have sexy teddys, slinky sheer nightgowns, and silky babydolls that were oh so tempting. And if browsing and admiring all the different styles of lingeries is not enough fun, there are also shoes to drool over! From boots to sandals to sexy high heels, I was in shoe heaven.

I had the best time ever checking out all of Yandy's goodies. The hard part for me was making a decision on what to pick. I wanted everything! LOL. But I had to make a choice, and after much deliberation, nail biting, and hair twisting, I made my choice. I had to go with the comfy and cute. After all, this was a treat for me, not the hubby, right? And I love getting comfy at night and curling up in cozy PJ's so much..... so, I picked out a snuggly pair of cute pajamas and just because "I could", I added a pair of darling beaded sandals to my order! And then I sat back and beamed for a bit.

My order was here literally in 3 days. I was oh so happy to open up that package and check out my loot. You know I tried on my PJ's even though it was only 11:00 am --loved them. They were just as comfy as I was hoping they'd be. And of course I wore my new sandals when I ran some errands that day (who cares if it was a bit chilly and rainy--I had new shoes to try out!)

Yandy's is a must to check out Ladies, especially if you are shopping for Valentine's Day Lingerie. There is something for everyone--whether you're like me and go for comfy and snuggly, or ahem, more adventuresome, shall we say?? But, shhh....I don't want my hubby to know what he missed out on!
