Review

"This is adorable! Max gets a box of delicious-looking chocolates for his mom for Valentine's Day. Maybe he'll just sample one... This is such a cute, fun tale. It's full of sweetness and humor and kids will laugh along with the story. The illustrations are soft and expressive. They enhance the text nicely! This would be a fun circle time read in the lead-up to Valentine's Day and would be a great addition to pre-K and early elementary school and classroom libraries." - BookWorks
