Valentine Bears

Mr. and Mrs. Bear have never celebrated Valentine's Day before?they've always slept right through it! This year will be different, as Mrs. Bear plans to wake up early, in the middle of wintry February, to share this special day with Mr. Bear. She makes a Valentine's Day sign, writes romantic poems, unearths a gift of a pot of summer honey she buried in the fall for safekeeping, and freshens up in the icy pond. Finally she's ready to wake Mr. Bear. There's only one problem: he's not ready to get up! All her preparations won't go to waste, though, because Mr. Bear has a surprise of his own. Bunting and Brett have crafted a charming story that will capture readers' hearts. This beautiful gift edition with gold foil on the cover is the perfect gift for someone sweet!
