The second book in the nationally bestselling series about the childhood of Americas favorite literal-minded housekeeper. School is always exciting for Amelia Bedelia, and getting her first Valentines Day card may be the most exciting surprise of all. But what will she do when she forgets her valentines for her classmates on the bus? Luckily, Amelia Bedelia is resourceful, and she doesnt break any hearts. A lovely pick for Valentines Day-or any day-Amelia Bedelias First Valentine will have readers making room in their hearts for this charmingly literal little girl. From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 1-A typical Amelia Bedelia story, tailored for younger readers. Young Amelia Bedelia makes valentines for her classmates with adorable misunderstandings. For instance, she sticks a Band-Aid on a card that says, Heartbreaker and puts a blanket on a valentine that mentions being cool. The books pink, flowery appearance will appeal to young girls. While the content is sweet and the illustrations are well done in color sketches with imperfect lines, resulting in a relaxed feel, the text isnt memorable in the least. Younger children may giggle at a few of the pictures such as of Amelia as a wolf, wolfing down breakfast, but the writing doesnt live up to Peggy Parishs clever and ingenious original books.
