The children enjoy seeing the books up on the big screen via our projector.\u00a0 We count the images, identify colors and the older ones love to go up and point things out to the class.\u00a0\u00a0 The following are books and apps I recommend for Valentine storytimes. 12 to 24 months &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Maisy Loves You by Lucy Cousins My Little Valentine by Carol Roth Baby Max and Ruby: Love by Rosemary Wells...","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.alsc.ala.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Flannel-Animals-App.jpg"}
