Book Description:

​Cindi isn’t sure about this holiday called Valentine’s Day, but after her people pair dress her up like a flamingo and take her for a walk in front of her friends, and her handsome new neighbor dog, Chip, she doesn’t like it at all! She and her BFF, Pitty Pat, have been watching Chip ever since he moved next door. She wants to meet him, but not like this! Have you ever changed your mind about something? In this outrageously funny story, meet some of Cindi’s fur-friends and find out if she changes her mind about Valentine’s Day.

Cindi’s Chocolate Valentine is an especially SPECIAL book because it features 17 pets that were chosen as winners in the Cindi Features a New Friend contest last summer.  As you can imagine, their ‘people families’ are beyond excited about their pets being part of the story.  They had over 750 pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, hedgehogs, and even a chicken, goat, donkey and monkey enter the contest!   

​My Thoughts:

Cindi's Chocolate Valentine is a cute story about a dog who does not quite understand what all the hype at her home surrounding Valentine's Day is all about. Why all the fuss and why does her owners dress her and her best friend Pitty Pat, the kitty, up? Not only that but they are taken for a walk all around town with their silly Valentine's costumes on. All the neighbors will see, and Cindi is super embarrassed especially when the cute new dog next door sees them.

I like that Cindi had Pitty Pat, someone to share her embarrassment with. I also think we can all relate at some time or another being in or doing something we found embarrassing that isn't at all but just a little different than what we are used to or only made up in our heads. The outcome of Cindi's little outing is that she caught the eye of the cute dog and now maybe Valentine's Day isn't all that bad. This was a cute story about pets, and the holiday Valentine's Day I think young kids would enjoy.
