1: Yay
Saint Valentine is my Confirmation Saint, and when I found this book I was just so happy. I remember being in second grade, twitching in my uniform as my teacher told us the story.
I had an obsession with Saints, and this story was just beautiful. The pictures and everything are superb.
It's one of my favorite children's Saint's books.

2: Perfectly retold for children
This is the perfect book to read your child. In it you read a story about Saint Valentine. It explains how he was a physician that lived in ancient Rome about two hundred years after Christ. That he was a very kind and giving man. He was a physician and a Christian priest at a time when they were persecuted.
His faith and dedication is told as he treats his patients during the day and prays for them all night. The incident the author tells of Saint Valentine ministering to the small blind child is what is purported in this book to be the beginning of the giving of flowers on his feast day.
This is a wonderfully told story.

4: Incredibly great!
I am six years old, in 2nd grade (homeschool) and I read this book today. It's about how Valentine was a doctor and how he cares about people. Children will love this book because of his kindness and how he cares about other people. The pictures look like beautiful little stones. Children will learn a lot from this book.

5: Wonderful book!
I wish I had a book like this for St. Nicholas, but I will look for one on St. Patrick too. This is a really interesting book.
