Here are two of my favorite books for Valentines' Day. Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch by Eileen Spinelli
This is a great read-aloud for any age.
Summary: An anonymous valentine changes the life of the unsociable Mr. Hatch, turning him into a laughing friend who helps and appreciates all his neighbors.

This is a book all pre-readers as well as beginner readers can read and enjoy on their own.
