Tiny T. Rex and the Perfect Valentine Board book – Picture Book, December 29, 2020
Purchase options and add-ons
Valentine's Day is coming, which means showing the ones you love how much they mean to you, so Tiny has decided to make the perfect Valentine for his best friend Pointy. But as Tiny discovers, making a Valentine isn't easy. It might take a few tries—until Tiny realizes the best Valentine might have been there all along.
Tiny may be a small dino in a big world, but that won't stop him from making friends, conquering his fears, and stomping his way into your heart. Author Jonathan Stutzman and illustrator Jay Fleck have created an adorable and heartwarming story that shows young readers that love and kindness are the best gift of all.
HOW DO DINOSAURS: Books about dinosaurs tackle many topics, but this one is especially sweet as it explores how a T. Rex can make a Valentine! As Kirkus Reviews notes, this wonderful picture book "succinctly celebrates love, friendship, aspiration, perseverance, limitations, and the notion that it's the thought that counts—especially when it's clearly reflected in effort."
PERFECT KID BOOKS TO CELEBRATE VALENTINE'S DAY: Tiny's latest adventure, as well as Tiny T. Rex and the Impossible Hug, make sweet Valentine's Day gifts that will delight dinosaur-loving babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.
GREAT READ ALOUD BOOK: Delightful text and adorable illustrations make this dino book one kids will love to hear again and again!

Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Review
“A predictably sweet dino-centric take on a classic theme: the heart behind a gift mattering more than the gift itself.”―Publishers Weekly
“Growing fan favorite Tiny T. Rex is back in this sweetly earnest tale of how hard it can be to make the perfect Valentine. . . . The bright, simple illustrations highlight the wonderful mess Tiny makes and his endearing frustration. Concise text makes this perfect Valentine reading for toddler story times. A great addition to board book collections.”―School Library Journal
“[Tiny T. Rex and the Perfect Valentine is a] charming board book that succinctly celebrates love, friendship, aspiration, perseverance, limitations, and the notion that it’s the thought that counts―especially when it’s clearly reflected in effort.”―Kirkus Reviews, starred review
