Valentine’s Books for Preschoolers

Franklin’s Valentines Paulette Bourgeois
Our daughter loves the Franklin series! These books always have a good message, and the story line easily holds the attention of a preschooler. This series is nice transition between toddler board books and longer stories. Franklin’s Valentines is all about caring, friendship, and being thoughtful– the perfect lesson for your little Valentine.

I Love You More Laura Duksta
This sweet story shares a parent and a child’s perspective on what love looks like. Full of fun rhyming comparisons, you can read this book from either side (perspective) with its flip-in-the-center format.

One Love Cedella Marley
When Vienna was a baby, my husband always rocked her to sleep to Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds. Every time I read this book it reminds me of that sweet time with our first baby. I love the beautiful illustrations in this book, and it’s not everyday you find a great kids’ book based on Bob Marley lyrics!

Happy Valentine’s Day, Mouse! Laura Numeroff
The famous mouse from If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is back, making special Valentine’s Day cards for all of his animal friends. It’s short and sweet, and Vienna loves seeing what the Mouse is up to lately 😉

In My Heart: A Book of Feelings Jo Witek
This is such great book for preschoolers as they learn about their feelings and emotions: it’s all about the many feelings you will have in your heart, from happiness and excitement to shy or angry. I’m sure anyone with a four year old can attest to those to the BIG preschooler emotions. The illustrations are eye-catching and the  heart cut out through the book makes it interesting and fun. I highly recommend this one for your preschooler!

  1. Oh my goodness, THROWBACK. I forgot all about Franklin, but I loved him as a kid!! I’ll have to send this list to my sister, I think my nephew would like them. :))

  2. These are fabulous recommendations! Thanks so much for sharing! My oldest son (now 13) loved the Franklin books– I can still hear the theme song in my head.

    1. Thanks Karen! It’s so funny how many people recall Franklin from years ago- we usually include a book on each of our holiday lists because the kids really do love him!
