K-Gr 3Colorful new illustrations update this text first published as St. Valentines Day (Crowell, 1965; o.p.). In it, Bulla offers a cheerful explanation of one of our oldest and most mysterious holidays, and gives the history and customs associated with it. From ancient Rome, through Victorian England, and on to modern celebrations, the author provides examples of how love and friendship are expressed. Craft ideas and a cookie recipe are appended. The information is more compact and is presented with more energy than in Edna Barths Heart, Cupids, and Red Roses (Clarion, 1982). An attractive addition to holiday shelves that gives librarians something to offer primary graders besides Gail Gibbonss Valentines Day (Holiday, 1986).Jane Claes, T. J.
