Celebrate Love Day!

PreS-Gr 1--Daniel Tiger and his friends from Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood are celebrating Love Day. Daniel begins by telling each of his family members he loves them. His baby sister Margaret cannot say "I love you" with words yet, so she gives a big hug to share her love. Afterwards, Daniel makes cards to share with his friends at school. He distributes the cards among his friends, and they all share their love in different ways. But Daniel has received a mystery card in his cubby, and none of his friends nor his teacher knows where it came from. The story ends with a surprise Love Day visitor: the giver of the mystery card. This book might run a little long for the target audience, but fans of the show will not be dissuaded. Illustrations are the professional quality readers will expect from PBS; they follow the story closely, making readers feel like they are watching an episode of the show. Children who are not able to read all the words will still be able to follow the story through the images. VERDICT This recommended title will circulate well with young children and fans of the animated show.--Christina Salazar
