Editorial : From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 2-Young Leon is hopelessly in love with Zoey Maloney. But the valentine he makes for her comes to life and declares, "Love is yucky. Stinky too. It will turn your brain to goo!" and takes off. As Leon chases it through town, followed by other kids who are eager to see how "this whole mess" turns out, the valentine delivers a compelling argument as to why Leon should not share his love for Zoey. It's not until the valentine meets Zoey's valentine that the cynic abruptly changes his mind and says, "Love is yummy. Love's divine. Won't you be my valentine?" Arnold's full-page, boldly colored, digitally created cartoonlike illustrations are dynamic, bringing the chase to life. With its creative story line and upbeat writing, this picture book is a must for holiday collections.-Mary Cass Mabbot, Indianapolis Public Library(c) Copyright 2011.

A fresh, funny Valentine's Day book for cootie- and candy-lovers alike—illustrated by picture book favorite, Tedd Arnold! Leon has a crush. A let-her-cut-in-line-at-the-water-fountain kind of crush. And he's got the perfect valentine. But this valentine has no intention of getting caught up in any romantic conspiracy. "Love is yucky, kid! Valentine's Day is all about CANDY!" the card yells at Leon, before leaping out the window and running away, leaving Leon to chase it across town, collecting kids along the way. Saying "I love you" has never been so yucky or so sweet. "a boisterous, just-sweet-enough comic caper."—The New York Times

The book isn't simply a scholastic, dry presentation of statistics and graphs however (though the author has clearly done his homework, and presents many facts and figures to back up his arguments, many of which were new to me). Those who are familiar with my reviews of other business books already know that on several dozen occasions, I have strongly recommended The Leadership Engine (1997) which Tichy wrote with Eli Cohen and Nancy Cardwell. Perfect gift for my daughter the quilter.. delivery time is excellent.. The generation that was born in the past thirty years (which I happen to be a part of) has been raised watching, and in some cases doesn't know the world and television without MTV.
This year (2001) is MTV's 20th anniversary, and the TV network all
