Be My Valentine! With Peaceable Kingdom! #Valentines
I finally found a way for 5-year-old Alice to actually WANT to practice writing her name! Valentines!! Super cute Valentines from Peaceable Kingdom.

Alice was very excited to receive these both styles of Peaceable Kingdom Valentines because they are scratch and sniff. The first style has adorable Fairies. These really do have the bubble gum scent! Super cute design with bright cheerful fairies.

She loved the penguin, snake, skunk and what she is positive is a yeti. (It’s a gorilla! HONEST Alice! I promise!)

With Alice just learning to read I am always on the lookout for books that have a lot of site words and challenging to read. The pictures in this book are so funny! The story is sweet. Groggle wants to make a special Valentine for his friend Snarlina. Snarlina is Groggle’s very beast friend in the whole wide world!! (Remember…. spoilers ahead!!) Searching in the dark forest, he finds just the right heart-shaped leaves. He collects some bog slime and squirts everything he wants to say in bold, gooey letters. Groggle’s creation looks horribly good. But there’s just one problem—gobble, crunch,…
