Publisher Description
Lovable Tiny T. Rex from the New York Times bestselling Tiny T. Rex and The Impossible Hug is back, this time in a Valentine's Day dinosaur board book adventure!
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 gifts of all.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This board book starring the pint-size, short-armed protagonist of the eponymous picture book series finds Tiny T. Rex with another dilemma. Tiny wants to make a valentine for best friend Pointy, a coral-colored stegosaurus. After all, it's "the best way to show how BIG your heart feels for someone," Tiny informs the audience in first-person perspective. But when Tiny wheels out red paint, the can tips all over the teeny theropod, and an idea involving glitter results in similar chaos. Undeterred, Tiny tries again and again, until finally: "The only thing I have made for Pointy is a very big, very messy... mess," Tiny admits, as Fleck's charming art shows the dinosaur in a pile of glitter, covered in paper hearts, glue, springs, and scraps. But Pointy, of course, is not disappointed. A predictably sweet dino-centric take on a classic theme: the heart behind a gift mattering more than the gift itself. Ages 2 4.
