I Need a Valentine: Holiday Life-the-flap - Brossura

Chris L. Demarest says: "A few years ago my wife and I brought our two-year-old son to an open house at a fire station. Ethan loved the big red fire trucks and I became totally enthralled not only by the trucks, but by the idea of serving my community as a firefighter.

"Being a full-time illustrator, I work at home, so I could be on call at any time. I took a lot of classes, passed some hard tests, and became a volunteer firefighter. I am on call for the Meriden, New Hampshire, station, where I now get to drive those big red fire trucks.

"I created Firefighters A to Z to show Ethan and other children what firefighting is really like. It can be an exciting job, but it's also a dangerous one. I hope to convey that through this book."

"If you send a valentine, you'll receive one," Margery's mother tells her. So Margery sends a valentine to her grandpa, and she waits and waits. Will she ever get one? Lift the flaps to find the sweet surprise in Margery's mailbox!
