Illustrated by
Robin Spowart.
A dapper, red-tuxedoed "Mister Mouse with the big red box / Goes up to the door and gives two knocks." At each new door he gives a Valentine's Day treat to the increasing number of animals who live at each house, and a new, numbered red heart appears at the bottom of the page, ending at ten with his own mouselings. Spowart's illustrations are soft, yet bright and warm. Instructions for making a paper heart are included.
