内容简介 Tino and Teeny are two lovestruck bunnies living a mere hop, skip, and jump apart. If only they could overcome their shyness and be friends! Tino has an idea: leave a tender letter for Teeny in the hollow log. Soon after, Teeny has the same thought. But before each can discover the other's note, it starts to rain. And when a family of cold, wet mice seeks shelter in the log, what better to keep them warm than letters, chewed, chomped, and shredded just so? Luckily, the sun returns and, realizing what they've done, the matchmaking mice help Tino and Teeny piece together their true feelings.

PreSchool-Grade 1–Valentino and Valenteeny, two timid bunnies, admire one another from afar, but their shyness keeps them from speaking. Then each one decides to write the other a letter and mails it in the local hollow log. Later, rain forces a mouse family to take refuge in that very log. To make the spot more comfortable, they shred everything they find, including the two letters. It is only when the bunnies are reduced to tears because they have received no replies to their correspondences that the mice realize what they have done. The sweet resolution to the problem results in a happily-ever-after ending. This is a charming story, perfect for Valentine's Day, though the holiday is never mentioned. The rabbits and mice are endearing characters, drawn in an appealing manner. The double-page picture of the sleeping mice surrounded by paper fragments of Love and Warmth and Exceptional Tenderness is especially enchanting. The large, colorful illustrations and delightful story make this a wonderful storytime selection.–Elaine Lesh Morgan, Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR

From Booklist
K-Gr. 2. Professing one's love and admiration is never easy--even using the old letter-in-a-hollow-log approach. In this sentimental "bunny love story," Valentino (Tino) shyly admires Valenteeny (Teeny) from afar, and she him. They both write flowery letters to each other and hide them in the same hollow log, only to have them shredded as nesting material by a family of mice: "They were snug and safe and surrounded by Love and Warmth and Exceptional Tenderness." The mice, witnessing the eventual sobbing of the forlorn, letterless bunnies, are horrified to discover what they've done and quickly cobble together a new letter for the rabbits, using all the best, warmest words from both notes. Tino and Teeny see that their love is requited after all in an unapologetically happily-ever-after ending. Simply drawn, appealing bunnies and mice gambol through the oversize format. The background of each spread has the look of torn, textured handmade paper scattered with a pressed potpourri of flowers, clovers, and petals, an effect that echoes the flowery nature of this just-in-time-for-Valentine's-Day story.
