Cocoa's Cranky Valentine: Can You Help Him Out?

By Beth Hughes and Thomas Nelson

In this silly, interactive Valentine's Day story, a grumpy dog makes a surprising discovery about friendship as he tries to outwit an ornery kitten who has stolen his only valentine. Toddlers and preschoolers will have a blast tracing, making choices, and dancing to help Cocoa coax the kitten to cooperate in this funny board book.

With zany, minimalist art from illustrator Beth Hughes, and a good helping of silly antics, this delightful seasonal book will capture your littlest readers' imaginations and help them be a little less cranky and a little more loving this Valentine's Day.
