Children's Literature
In a take off based on the famous Christmas poem, this variation describes activities on the night before Valentine's Day. Kids have their scissors and glue out, cutting paper hearts and decorating them too. At school, everything is pink and red, from the streamers and hearts to balloons hanging by a thread. Teacher gets a bouquet from her secret admirer and the kids play games, exchange cards, and have a great party. Even the principal joins in the fun by pretending he is Cupid and leaving the kids a soft furry bundle of love. 2000, Grosset & Dunlap, $3.49. Ages 4 to 7. Reviewer: Marilyn Courtot
