“The train makes its way through Valentine ­Valley, a place brimming with classic holiday symbols—sweets, flowers, and cards—and crafting supplies such as lace, paper, and scissors…[and] concludes with the children peacefully falling asleep, surrounded by the Valentine’s Day treasures they’ve collected. Rhyming text is gentle and sweet…recommended for libraries seeking to expand their Valentine’s Day collection with a heartwarming and simple title.” — School Library Journal
