I purchased "Valerie the vole"for my Granddaughter whom lives in LA . I spent a week with her and we so much enjoyed the 2 nights I read her the book. She made a new discovery and we had fun locating Valerie on each page .
We all absolutely loved this adorable book!
This book is adorable. The story is simple but sweet and the illustrations are full of little details my grandson keeps pointing out. We’ve read it several times already.
I really liked how Valerie never gave up on wanting to be friends with Evan. My daughter picked up on that right away and kept asking why Valerie kept trying. It opened up a nice little conversation about not giving up when things feel hard.
The rhymes in this book are really smooth. I didn’t stumble once reading it out loud, which is rare. My son was following along and even started finishing some of the lines with me by the second read.
My son is usually hard to keep interested during story time but this one works. He loves hunting for Valerie and talking about what he sees in the pictures. It’s become one of our go-to bedtime books.
This book has a gentle way of teaching kids to be kind and confident. My daughter picked up on the message without me having to explain it, which I appreciated.
Such a sweet little story! My daughter loved looking for Valerie on every page and honestly, so did I. It’s cute, easy to read, and has a really nice message about being kind and never giving up.
From my daughter: the book is very nice, and very good for children. My son said it’s very cool. I thought it was so very charming and great for all ages! The story was cleaver and the rhyming was perfect! We loved looking for Valerie on all the pages and can’t wait for the next book!
