Tips on Picking a Book for a Gift

Valentine's Day books for kids of all ages

Don't underestimate the power of an awesome picture book for older kids. My fifth grader still loves to receive these as a thoughtful gift and I plan to keep giving them to her as long as I can. The key is to pick a beautifully illustrated one with a clever message. Not just any Valentine's Day picture book will do.

But even Big Kids enjoy being reminded they'll always be your little sweetie. In fact, wrap one up and send it to your college student with a gift card to Starbucks tucked inside so they can go get a cake pop and a latte. I promise it will make their day.

When I think of Valentine's Day, I think of fairy tale stories and adventure. For Tweens, you can do simple romantic crush books or mix it up with something a little more whimsical. Whether your sweetheart is a boy or a girl, you're sure to find the perfect Valentine's Day book gift here:
