The Night Before Valentine's Day
Written by Natasha Wing
Illustrated by Heidi Petach
ISBN: 0-448-42188-7
This book is a wonderful Valentine's story about the excitement of the sweetest holiday. The story introduces the reader to many of the wonderful traditions associated with Valentine's Day. Each page includes a 4-line verse that can be adaptedly sung to the tune of the familiar folk melody "Cindy." Read through the story once before sharing with the class as the rhythm of words may need to be slightly adjusted to fit the familiar tune.
In the traditional refrain, "Get along home, Cindy, Cindy," invite the children to sing the following holiday refrain:
Valentine! Valentine!
Valentine! Please be my Valentine!
Enjoy the story and keep singing. :)
