Happy Book Birthday to Be My ValenSLIME!
This debut picture book is a laugh-out-loud celebration of love that’s full of monster mayhem! Meet Snoodle, an unusual monster. She loves candy hearts, fun parties, fuzzy kittens, fancy hats, sparkly stickers, and . . . valentines! There’s just one problem: Monsters DON’T DO Valentine’s Day! And when Snoodle tries to throw a Valentine’s Day party for her monster friends, nothing goes right. Every attempt to show them what love looks like turns into monster mayhem. With each disaster, Snoodle tries to be patient and kind, and to not be rude or get easily angered. But if the party isn’t perfect, how can Snoodle convince the other monsters to be her Valenslime? Throughout the book, children will learn how love can be modeled and see how the rewards of love produce positive results.
