I'm finding that Clifford the Small Red Puppy books are very repetitive, with Clifford stowing away to end up in an unexpected place, briefly getting lost, and/or causing accidental messes. But Clifford as a puppy is so adorable, I just don't mind that much. Here he ends up lost in a big basket of mail at the post office and the postal workers get waaaaay to excited when he is found again.
The book Clifford's First Valentine's Day is very cute. I have always loved the Clifford books. The themes of this book are friendship, kindness, love, and family. This book is a great reminder to show those you love in your school, community, and home that you love them on Valentine's Day and every day. I highly recommend this book and think it would be great for a classroom lesson in a K-2nd grade classroom on or around Valentine's Day.
