The Yuckiest, Stinkiest, Best Valentine Ever -- Brenda Ferber, Paperback

A fresh, funny Valentine's Day book for cootie- and candy-lovers alike--illustrated by picture book favorite, Tedd Arnold

Leon has a crush. A let-her-cut-in-line-at-the-water-fountain kind of crush. And he's got the perfect valentine. But this valentine has no intention of getting caught up in any romantic conspiracy. Love is yucky, kid Valentine's Day is all about CANDY the card yells at Leon, before leaping out the window and running away, leaving Leon to chase it across town, collecting kids along the way. Saying I love you has never been so yucky or so sweet.

...a boisterous, just-sweet-enough comic caper.--The New York Times
