title: Turtle and Snake's Valentine (VIKING EASY-TO-READ)
author:  Kate Spohn 
description: PreSchool-Grade 1-With appealing artwork and a simple text, this lighthearted tale of friendship is just right for beginning readers. Turtle is planning a Valentine's Day surprise for his pal Snake. First he makes a card, and then he shops for Snake's favorite goodies, meeting other friends along the way. After wrapping the presents and donning a spiffy Valentine's Day outfit topped with a red beret, Turtle heads over to Snake's house, only to be surprised by Snake's gift to Turtle: a Valentine's Day party, attended by all the special buddies that he had seen earlier that day. A running visual gag has Snake "hiding" at the shops visited by Turtle. Boldly colored illustrations complement the short sentences and repetitive vocabulary. Directions for making a valentine are included. A holiday treat as sweet as a candy heart.<br /><i>Mary Ann Carcich, Hampton Bays Public Library, NY</i><br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
