Bookroo's summary

Little Bear is thrilled to receive a valentine, but there's no name on it. With Mother Bear's hint of a secret admirer, Little Bear embarks on a heartwarming quest to uncover the sender. Alongside friends like Hen, Emily, Owl, and Duck, he discovers the true essence of friendship, not just on Valentine's Day, but throughout the year. Will Little Bear solve the mystery and learn who cherishes him in secret?

From the publisher

“ Who Is Little Bear’s Secret Valentine? “Oh, look, Mother Bear! A valentine for me! A beautiful valentine!” Little Bear opened the card – but there was no name inside. Who could have sent it? Mother Bear said, “You have a secret admirer!” This new tale – written by Little Bear’s creator, Else Holmelund Minarik, and with full-color illustrations by Heather Green – will bring readers into the charmed world of Little Bear, complete with good friends Hen, Emily, Owl, and Duck, and Little Bear’s loving family. Join the star of the hit animated TV series in a classic Valentine’s Day story about the importance of friendship, not only on February fourteenth but all year round.
