“Little Blue Truck’s Valentine” by Alice Schertle
Little Blue Truck has done it again! Your toddler will love the rhythm of this rhyming book filled with adorable farm animals. It’s all about Little Blue Truck delivering Valentine’s to all of his friends. Super cute story about friendship and kindness.
“Who Loves You?” by Dr. Seuss
This Valentine’s Day book is filled with all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters. I love that this book not only talks about love but also kindness, creativity, and individuality! Bonus feature is a little mirror on the last page (little ones love to see their own cute little faces).
“Happy Valentine’s Day, Mouse!” by Laura Numeroff
If your toddler loves “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” like mine does, this Valentine’s Day book a no-brainer. It’s all about Mouse making valentines for his friends—a sweet story about thoughtfulness and friendship.
“I Love You Everyday” (Finger Puppet Board Book) by Cottage Door Press
My little one loves this sweet rhyming story about love. The little finger puppet bear really makes the story come to life. We’ve had this book since my little one was an infant and he still loves this one today over two year later.
“I Love You Through and Through / Te quiero, yo te quiero” by Bernadette Rossetti-Shustak
This adorable bilingual book is all about unconditional love – from top to bottom, silly or sad, sleepy or awake, you are loved! My little one loves the illustrations and the sweet story line describing all the ways that this little boy is loved.
“I Love You, Mommy” by Melanie Joyce
This sweet story of a bear and her cub captures the essence of motherly love. While not technically a Valentine’s book, it’s one of my favorites to read with my son.
“I Love You, Daddy” by Melanie Joyce
This story of a bear and his cub perfectly illustrates the playful, comforting, and protective parenting of a father. My husband loves reading this one to our son! These two books by Melanie Joyce are total must-haves.

This board book filled with adorable images and loving animal puns. Your toddler will love turning the pages to see all of the illustrations in this book.

Each page of these heart-shaped books has illustrations of a mother (or father) and their cub doing fun things together. These books are written from the cubs perspective, saying all of things that they love about their mommy/daddy.
