Louanne Pig in the Mysterious Valentine Book

Louanne Pig receives a beautiful valentine, but must find the secret admirer who sent it. Full-color illustrations.

Joyce Rice - Children's Literature

Louanne the Pig is back with a delightful story for young readers about a valentine. This valentine is from a secret admirer. As Louanne explores the possibilities of the identity of her secret admirer, she is reminded of all the reasons why each of her classmates would not make a good admirer. Despite her determination to identify her admirer, all she manages to do is create suspicion as she looks into other students' desks and book bags. The story ends without Louanne knowing her admirer, but the reader will know. This is a good story to read aloud, and to reinforce privacy issues with young students. It is also just a delightful, happy story. All elementary classrooms and media centers will want to make sure they have this title in the collection. 2004 (orig. 1985), First Avenue Editions/Lerner Publishing, and Ages 5 to 8.
