We have a toddler born on Christmas Day, so when Valentine’s Day rolls around, she really doesn’t need much. But I still think it’s a fun time to get a couple cute outfits and gifts that are things she’d use anyway like Valentine’s Day themed books.
Here are some of our favorite baby and toddler Valentine’s Day books that we’ve either accumulated over the past two years or will likely try out soon! They’re organized by board books and paperback/hardcover so you can see which are good to start out with smaller babies – these are all still great for toddler years ahead!

Valentine’s Day Board Books:

- Happy Valentine’s Day, Mouse! – A spin off of “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” a cute story about Mouse preparing Valentine’s Day cards unique to each one of his friends.
