Little Mouse's Big Valentine

Little Mouse's Big Valentine by Hurd, Thacher. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780064432818.

Little Mouse, in an excess of creative enthusiasm, makes a valentine so enormous that no one wants it. Chagrined, he sets out on a journey [to find someone with whom to share his huge red heart]. This beguiling fable is both told and illustrated with disarming simplicity; Hurds minimal lines are deftly expressive of his heros subtle feelings, while his rich, watercolor tones make each page a delight. A splendid addition to the Valentines Day shelf.
