- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The scene opens as Ruby Valentine and Lovebird are just getting settled into their new home. You see, they just recently moved to the area and are now residing in a cozy little cottage high above the city of Heartland...the perfect place for a family with the name of "Valentine" don't you think? Ruby's favorite holiday is fast approaching and being new in town, she's come up with the perfect way to celebrate this year...a party! She promptly makes the invitations inviting the whole town to the get together. Everything seems to be going well with the preparations...there's just one little problem. Ruby forgot to check the thermostat when making the plans and it's colder than usual so when the big day arrives....surprise! Snow...and lots of it. Will the big party be ruined leaving these two fine friends to spend Valentine's Day on their own? The story is quick, the message from the heart. It's one of those books that you just can't help but smile the whole way through. Certainly an eye catcher for any little (and older) girl readers in your midst but not without merit for younger boys as well. I love the details in the artwork. The subtle hints of pink in the overtly green landscape. The hearts for windows and half hearts for room trim on the house. The writing on the moving boxes, the tea cups and stamps, even the bushes lining the driveway...it's a virtual heart-a-palooza in the best and cutest way possible. Little ones will delight in finding as many hearts as they can while older readers will chuckle at the creative ways they are snuck into each picture. Wonderful attention to detail which makes readers pay all the more attention to it. The ending is marvelous both in artwork and message showing us that the surprises in life are what really make it interesting and certainly memorable. Happy reading for the whole family. ^_^
