“While love is the topic of this board book, it’s the inventive gatefolds and charmingly vintage illustrations that readers will fall for.” ―Kirkus Reviews

In this sturdy board book, young readers explore all love has to offer. Featuring elephants, sea otters, swans, giraffes, sloths, penguins, kangaroos, pandas, hippos, foxes, golden eagles, and more, Loveblock showcases the many ways affection can be shown. Watch pandas leaning lovingly on one another as you read “Love is steady. You can lean on me.” Take a dive with hippos as you turn the page to reveal the phrase “love runs deep.”

Like other books in the Block Book series such as Alphablock, Cityblock, Dinoblock, and Buildablock, Loveblock features die-cut shapes on every spread and has durable, interactive fold-out pages, perfect for little hands.

With bright, animated, retro-inspired artwork by Peski Studio, this is a must-have book for new parents, grandparents, or anyone looking to spread a little love during Valentine’s Day! “Because where there is love, there is life. . . . And where there is life, there is love.”
