This is a super fun and cute children's book about a friendship between Eddie the Yeti and Sam the Sea Cow. I thought it was fun and endearing.

From Amazon:
"Eddie Yeti has a problem.

Valentine's Day is coming up, and he wants to give gifts to his friends. Sam the sea cow is a friend who lives in the ocean, though, and Eddie doesn't have gifts that can survive the salty water.

What kind of gift can a yeti give a sea cow? Eddie's solution is sweet and fun... and may just inspire toddlers and preschoolers to share their own unique presents during holidays.

The book's short text and captivating collages are perfect for young readers with short attention spans and children who are ready to memorize text and "read" their own books. Early learners can see problem-solving in action!

Back matter includes fun facts about sea cows, manatees, hidden pictures, and more.

Eddie Yeti finds a Valentine's Gift is part of a growing series of picture books featuring a small group of yetis during different holidays. Get to know the yetis and find them in each book!"

Children, people who read to children, people who are children at heart (me!) People who like fanciful stories.

I learned some things about sea cows. I also got a great tip for when I write a children's book - hide things to find! This author did that but we didn't know until the end. This naturally made me re-read the book to find them all, and I'm sure it'd do the same with kids and make them feel great when they were successful. The illustrations were fun and some made me smile.

Some of the illustrations were not the best but it didn't take away from the book experience for me.

Happy! It was a really cute, fun book.

Amazon kindly let me know that I already own another book by this author that I haven't read yet and suggested I read it next. I just might. Probably it is one I got for free or under a dollar, so perhaps this one will go on sale too.
