Ruby Valentine is thrilled with her new kitten, but her lovebird isn't as pleased. As Valentine's Day approaches, the two pets vie for Ruby's attention, turning her favorite day into chaos. With both animals determined to prove their love, Ruby faces the challenge of showing them there's enough room in her heart for both. Can she find a way to bring harmony to her home, or will the rivalry continue? Discover how Ruby navigates this heartwarming dilemma and whether peace can be restored in time for the holiday.
From the publisher
For Ruby Valentine, two pets means twice the love! There’s a new addition in the Valentine house: a kitten! He’s soft and sweet, and Ruby is happy to have him. But not everyone shares Ruby’s enthusiasm. Lovebird’s feathers are more than a little ruffled. And when Valentine’s Day arrives, both animals try to outdo each other to show Ruby how much they love her. Ruby’s favorite day quickly turns into a mess. Can Ruby find a way to show her pets that there’s room in her heart for two?
