The moral could be about sharing love. For example, in a Valentine's kids story where kids exchange cards, it shows that sharing kind words and feelings makes everyone happy.
Well, one theme is self - expression. In 'Love, Splat', Splat tries to find ways to show his love, which is all about expressing his feelings. Family love is also a theme. Some stories focus on how kids can show love to their family members on Valentine's Day. And celebration is there too. These stories often depict the celebration of Valentine's Day with parties, making valentines, etc. like in 'Fancy Nancy: Heart to Heart' where Nancy enjoys the Valentine's Day celebration.

The element of kindness is also prevalent. Kids in these stories are often kind to one another. They might include a classmate who is usually left out in their Valentine's Day celebrations. Or they give a special valentine to someone who is having a hard time. It's all about spreading love and kindness on this special day for kids.
One popular kids' valentines story is 'The Day It Rained Hearts'. It's about a little girl named Cornelia Augusta who wakes up one morning to find that it's raining hearts. She catches them and uses them to make valentines for her friends. It's a really sweet story about friendship and love.
In a school, for Valentine's Day, the kids were paired up for a special activity. There was a shy girl named Emma. She was paired with a popular boy named Jack. At first, Emma was nervous.

There is also 'Love, Splat' by Rob Scotton. Splat the cat is very nervous about Valentine's Day and making a special valentine for his teacher.

One way to make it more interesting is to incorporate real - life examples or local traditions related to Valentine's Day into the story. For instance, if there's a special Valentine's Day parade in your town, you can include that in the story. You can also add some humor by creating funny characters or situations. And don't forget to use a lot of descriptive words to paint a vivid picture in the kids' minds. For example, instead of just saying 'a heart', you could say 'a big, shiny, red heart that sparkled like a ruby'.
Another place is at school libraries. Teachers often collect Valentine's Day - related stories for the kids during this time of the year. Also, parents can buy storybooks from bookstores. There are many classic and new Valentine's Day stories available in both big chain bookstores and small independent ones.
They can be used for reading comprehension. Teachers can have kids read a valentines story and then answer questions about it to improve their reading skills.
