Sounds great, right?! If you don’t already have a Valentine’s Day family tradition, I totally just took care of that for you. {wink, wink}

Not only will reading these Valentine’s Day books for kids help to add some celebration to the holiday, but you’ll also be fostering a love of reading! Some of the books are funny, some are sweet. Some have activities and some will be books the kids will want to read over and over again. All of them, though, would be great for your annual Valentine’s Day celebration.
