Valentine's Day
Illustrated by Kim Lewis
(Catnip)
80pp, 978-1846470899, RRP £4.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Anna is living with her grandparents at Peak Dale Farm, because her mother has to be in hospital for a long time. Anna settles down well in spite of missing her mother. She makes friends with Valentine the calf but will she be up to showing Valentine at the fair? She is not sure, but the love and belief in her that everyone at the farm shows works its magic... The chapters are just the right length for reading aloud at the end of the school day (or at bedtime, for that matter) – and the layout of the book with its large typeface means that it will also be at home in smaller pairs of hands! The details of farm life will appeal to young readers.
