Yuck, a Love Story
Austin thinks that his brand-new neighbour Amy, like all girls, is yucky and ‘doesn’t know anything‘. So why is the only suitable birthday present for Amy the moon itself? Adults will melt at this quirky and cute tale of friendship and first love, and kids will laugh at Austin’s moon-stealing adventures (and maybe relate to the love-is-yucky sentiment). We think this beautifully illustrated book makes the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for those who want to feel like Mom of the Year by giving a book in lieu of unhealthy treats. It might not be candy, but it’s just as sweet. ($9.45, available at chapters.indigo.ca)
