5+ Valentine's Day Books my 3 Year Old is Loving

Here are some of our current favorite Valentine's kids books for me and my toddler! I'll try to grow this list rather than create linked parts. 

A fun twist on a traditional Valentine's story.

Most of the other books by this couple are about whiches and Halloween. They do also have a Thanksgiving one. I have not read the others 

Cranberry Valentine 
By Wende and Harry Devlin





This book had my three year old laughing out loud. It was pretty silly and great for those with neurodivergence and struggling with completing tasks and forgetting things.

Silly Tilly's Valentine 
Written and illustrated by Lillian Hoban 


I Bug You by Dori Elyse 
Illustrated by Riley Samels 

This book is absolutely adorable with little hidden hearts on every beautifully illustrated page. 




Pete the Cat: Valentine's Day is Cool
By Kimberly and James Dean

Of course if your little one lives Pete the Cat like mine, this is a favorite and very sweet. I love the idea of celebrating Valentine's as a friends holiday.



Though I'm less excited about Valentine's Day being for crushes than simply friendship, this was a great book! So many good points and lessons to take away. Great for girls and boys alike.

This book addresses issues like bullying and girls being strong but still enjoying being persued. 

A Valentine for Norman Noggs 
By Valiaka Gregory
Illustrated by Marsha Winborn

My son refused to listen to this one based on the cover and I did not end up figuring out why. If you are looking for a Valentine and Bee theme book the list of them is endless!!
