A child, fed up with Valentine's Day, suffers through all the festivities at school...until this Crankenstein meets a like-minded individual to commiserate with.

Funny story, awesome Dan Santat illustrations. Sure to elicit laughter from young readers, especially those who can relate to Crankenstein's feelings about Valentine's day!

I absolutely loved this Holiday book that's a little different than most Valentine books! It's cute, and hilarious and the kids loved it!

Crankenstein returns with one of his not-so-favorite holidays, Valentine's Day (yeeeccchhh!). The day is oh-so-awkward and uncomfortable for Crankenstein until he meets an unlikely ally in this cute tale of hearts and love. <3
