Good for Valentine's Day submitted by klickitat on August 31, 2012, 9:59pm A fisherman named Pierre courts Catherine, a beautiful ballet instructor, even though he's certain she will never love him in return. Pennypacker (Clementine) wrote a sweet romance that would be a wonderful read-aloud for third to fifth graders. (The longer than average narrative and slow pace is likely to try the patience of younger children.) Mathers' sketchy, folk-art-like illustrations are a perfect match for the whimsical text. Although one suspects that parents will better appreciate the bruises of love than the target audience, this title would make a particularly good story time selection for Valentine's Day.
