Parents are likely to receive homemade Valentine's Day cards from their children on this special day, so why not return the gesture with your own gift? A selection of chocolates will surely have the kids delighted, but you can instead present them with a book about the festivities. You can even make a date to read this together on Valentine's night!

Below are some of the most recommended children's book about Valentine's Day:

1) "Kiss, Kiss" by Jennifer Couelle and Jacques Laplante

This book celebrates gestures of love from parents and the illustrations capture the charm of what it's like to be showered with love from mom and dad. It's recommended for ages three to six.

2) "I Love You Already!" by Jory John and Benjie Davies

Recommended for kids between the ages of four to eight, this book hilariously talks about a bear and a duck who are trying to get along.

"Cute friendship story that relates how one does not have to spend every minute with someone to show love. Would work on a parent-to-child level, too," said one reader review from Goodreads.

3) "Love from The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle

This book talks about metamorphosis with a style that relates to children. The pages are bursting with colors that will appeal to kids as young as two.

"'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' is eye catching and intriguing to toddlers and preschoolers. How much can one caterpillar eat? And what happens when he eats that much? Good introduction to the days of the week as well as some great food vocabulary. A definite plus to add to your toddler's library," said a reviewer on Common Sense Media.

4) "Here Comes Valentine Cat" by Deborah Underwood and Claudia Rueda

"Here Comes Valentine Cat" topped The New York Time's bestselling list in 2015. It centers on a cat who doesn't love Valentine's Day. It also features a dog as its neighbor and they bicker over their "angry" Valentine rituals.
