Such a heart-warmer! Mr. Hatch's lonely routine is disrupted when he receives and unexpected valentine in the mail. It inspires him to reach out to the people in his community. There's a great twist at the end that adds to the love-fest that is this sweet, sweet book. ( )

A sweet story about community and how being loved can change a person for good.

Such a hear-touching story without been too corny. I think this book is perfect to show kindness and how it looks. How small gestures can make someone's day. I also love the facts that it is also adults as well as children doing small acts of kindness. ( )

Mr. Hatch lived his days on a pretty strict routine, and always kept to himself. When he receives a Valentine card saying someone loves him, his whole perspective on life begins to change. He bakes brownies for people, watches the newsstand when Mr. Smith is sick, and helps the butcher find his daughter. Everyone in town notices this kindness. But one day he discover the Valentine was meant for someone else. Heartbroken, he resumes his routine. But then, the neighborhood bands together to show Mr. Hatch he is loved.
I thought this story did a great job of showing the importance of kindness without being too preachy about it. I also liked that the book gives specific examples on kind things both adults and children can do. ( )
