Who doesn’t love to get snugged up with their best friend, and hear an adorable story? These valentine books are a great way to celebrate friendship. This book list includes favorite picture books for early readers, and read aloud books with kids’ favorite characters.

  • Happy Valentine’s Day, Mouse!: The famous mouse from the “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” series, is back again. This time, he is ready to celebrate Valentine’s Day with everyone he loves, including his most cherished animal friends. With little words, and great pictures, this book will capture the attention of your kiddos!

  • The Day it Rained Hearts: I love Felicia Bond books! Naturally, this was a no-brainer when building my collection of Valentine’s Day books for kids. Cornellia Augusta, the main character, goes outside on the day it rains hearts. She catches the hearts and has a special plan. Sure enough, all of her favorite animal friends receive the most special valentines. If you are doing a book comparison, this would be good to pair up with Pete the Cat, listed above. He, too, makes Valentines for his animal friends.

  • The Night Before Valentine’s Day: This is a great book to read to your kiddos the day before their Valentines parties in the classroom. Nowadays, school administration often refers to this day as a Friendship Party for kids.

  • The Biggest Valentine Ever: If you are teaching your kids about teamwork, this Valentines book for kids is the perfect way to introduce your lessons. Clayton and Desmond, the main characters, work hard to create the most beautiful Valentines Day gift for the teacher, but run into some problems. After getting upset and feeling like they want to give up, they learn working together is the best solution to come up with the biggest Valentine ever!

  • The Invisible String: This popular, and highly rated, children’s Valentine’s Day book can be found in millions of classrooms! The Invisible String is a best-selling picture book about the unbreakable connections we have with loved ones. This book, recommended by school teachers, parents, school psychologists, child therapists, and social workers, puts a beautiful perspective on coping with anxiety, loss, and grief. A true book about love!

  • Love Monster: Get your kiddos imagination going with this cute Valentines book. Your kiddos will go along the journey with the love monster as he searches for someone to love him just the way he is. As a follow up activity, or Valentines Day party craft, you could do a monster glyph with your kiddos.

  • Roses are Pink, Your Feet Really Stink: Teach your kiddos about second chances, and turning things around for the positive. Valentine’s Day is about friendship. To support that, this book shows that even if you’ve not been very kind to someone in the past, there is always a way to be kind and start a friendship.

  • Happy Valentine’s Day, Curious George!: Celebrate George and his family as they celebrate Valentine’s Day. Of course, it wouldn’t be a classic Curious George book if there wasn’t some type of mischief that happens.

Hippo and his friends, duck, elephant, pig, and turtle, are off to solve a Valentines mystery. Who is sending Hippo and his friends these secret Valentine messages? They meet up at the park for the special surprise. This is a great book for making predictions and encouraging friendship.

  • Junie B. Jones and the Mushy Gushy Valentime: No, that is not a misspelling, friends. That is how Junie B. Jones pronounces it…ValentiMe. This is part of a popular first grade reading series, that kids can’t get enough of. In fact, I will be giving this as a Valentines Day gift for my daughter. She loves reading, and loves all the silly stories about Junie B. This, along with some cute Valentine’s Day stickers, would be a great Valentines gift for kids.
