Illustrated by
Lee Wildish.
"Horses: Nose to nose, hip to hip, / ours is a stable relationship." In this petite gift book, couplets describing various animals in love use corny (but funny) puns as unabashedly as the critters declare their devotion; bats hang around together, earthworms dig each other, etc. Clear, cartoony illustrations have an appropriately Valentine card–esque appearance.
