” I ruff you in the morning when the sun is shining bright I ruff you in the evening when the moon lights up the night I ruff your precious ears and your sweet little nose I ruff your little fingers and teeny-tiny toes!” Preschoolers will love the plush puppy ears that appear on each page. Nothing is cuter than a snuggly puppy on Valentine’s Day, especially one that doesn’t need to be taken out in the middle of the night.

Nothing is cuter than the illustrations in this book. Each page is dedicated to a different animal and how they say Happy Valentine’s Day to each other. Don’t even get me started about the hedgehogs. So cute!
