If you’re not familiar with Valentine’s Day, it’s an annual holiday, celebrated on February 14th. It’s a special occasion that originated as a way to honor the Christian martyr, Saint Valentine. It’s on page 28 of A Storytime Year, and while I haven’t verified to make sure this is the correct book (we don’t have a copy in my system) I think it is by Susan M. Dailey. Vincent’s Valentine Animals One day, Vincent the toymaker received word from the King that he was to create a special toy for the Princess for Valentine’s Day. Then, for the storytime, I left the Orange Fox on the board, and hid the other animals around the room. I'd pick kids to go see if they could find one, and then we'd say the rhyme (so what's below isn't in any particular order; it's just whatever animal they find next). Songs for Valentine’s Day Story Time. 5 Little Hearts Valentine’s Day Song from Kiboomers; I’m a Little Valentine from Jbrary; What’s in Your Heart Collage Art.

Here's what we did: Books: Love Monster and the Last Chocolate by Rachel Bright Although this isn't specifically a Valentine's story, it is a funny, sweet friendship story that revolves around chocolate. When Love Monster arrives home from vacation, he is thrilled to This is the only Valentine’s Day book that I did read at storytime. I love this sweet story about a little panda leaving valentines all over his house for his family. And the kids really enjoyed counting how many valentines he hid on each page spread.
