Looking for a love themed read for your little Valentine? The twins and I had a chance to check out the below selection of Candlewick books with themes perfect for the upcoming Valentine's Day celebration. We loved them all, but I think Bear in Love was a particular favorite for Declan who holds a special place in his heart for his own (stuffed) bear, Chippers.
