Toddler-PreS–Growing fan favorite Tiny T. Rex is back in this sweetly earnest tale of how hard it can be to make the perfect Valentine. Spilled paint, glitter everywhere, paper rips, scissor cuts, and trouble spelling all conspire to ruin T. Rex’s card for his best friend Pointy. Toddlers and preschoolers alike will relate to the struggle of making one’s ideas a reality. Pointy’s reaction will provide a calming reassurance that it’s the thought that counts. The bright, simple illustrations highlight the wonderful mess Tiny makes and his endearing frustration. Concise text makes this perfect Valentine reading for toddler story times.
VERDICT A great addition to board book collections.
