Looking for a fun Valentines Day family tradition or Valentines Day Activity? Than pick-up the book I Lost My Kisses
In the book your kids will learn that Matilda Roses loves to give kisses. But one day her kisses seem to have disappeared. Matilda Rose looks and looks for them in unusual places because she wants to make sure she has ample supply to welcome her dad home with at the end of the day. In the end, Matilda Rose learns that she didn’t really lose her kisses and that kisses are always there when you need them.
How To Turn This Into A Fun Valentine Literary Tradition:
- Hide some chocolate kisses throughout the house.
- Have the book delivered by your Literary Mascot- our mascot is a mouse.
- Include a note, from your mascot, explaining that saying he or she has lost her kisses, and asking for help locating them.
Here’s the note any mouse could leave:
This book is about a cow named Matilda Rose.
Who lost her kisses when they were right underneath her nose.Wouldn’t you know it. I’ve gone and lost my kisses too!
And it’s made me feel awfully blue.
I know they are here in the house.
But it’s just such a big job for a mouse.
So would you please help me?
When you find 25 a victory you can decree.Signed,
Valentine
A House Mouse
