The Yuckiest, Stinkiest, Best Valentine Ever

32 pp. | Dial | December, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8037-3505-7 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tedd Arnold. The valentine young Leon has made runs away shouting "Love is yucky. / Stinky too. / It will turn your brain to goo!" Everyone joins in a chase that ends in the candy shop, where they run into Leon's secret crush (and the valentine she has made for him). Illustration panels, speech bubbles, and the gingerbread-man-like pursuit make this somewhat saccharine love story palatable.
