Book Reviews For Kids, By Kids

Book Title:  The Very Special Valentine
Author: Christine Tagg

The book was about the rabbit trying to find a gift for his friend.  I liked the end of the book.  They were happy together.  She said the perfect gift is friendship.  I liked the pictures very much.

Dylan Undermark, age 7
