The cutest couple of star-crossed rabbits craft the ultimate love letter with a little help from a family of mice in this charming story
FORMAT: Paperback book & CD
NARRATOR: Skip Hinnant
Tino and Teeny are two lovestruck bunnies living a mere hop, skip, and jump apart. If only they could overcome their shyness and be friends! Tino has an idea: leave a tender letter for Teeny in the hollow log. Soon after, Teeny has the same thought. But before each can discover the other's note, it starts to rain. And when a family of cold, wet mice seeks shelter in the log, what better to keep them warm than letters, chewed, chomped, and shredded just so?
Luckily, the sun returns and, realizing what they've done, the matchmaking mice help Tino and Teeny piece together their true feelings.

"At first I thought this would be yet ANOTHER book about creatures writing soon-to-be-lost love notes to their secret loves, but thank goodness it had an adorable twist involving rain, helpful mice and a sort of scrapbooking ;-) I ended up all smiles at the end."

“A charming story, perfect for Valentine’s Day.”
— School Library Journal“Professing one’s love and admiration is never easy—even using the old letter-in-a-hollow-log approach…[A] just-in-time-for-Valentine’s-Day story.”
— Booklist“This sweet and simple story offers a fresh idea for Valentine’s Day, but elementary school teachers will also use this for the creative idea of ‘recombinant poetry,’ using words plucked from other sources.”
— Kirkus" It's a very cute book. Read it to your children. "
— Sandy, 10/18/2013" Sweet friendship book. Especially when children have feelings they can't express especially to the opposite sex. Rabbits and mice are the characters and the illustrations are excellent! "

— Inspired, 5/25/2013" Obviously I'm biased because I totally love bunnies and words, but still this was a lovely story with adorable illustrations. "
— Sofia, 12/13/2010" Aww... Very sweet. But enough of a dash of humor and energy that I'm pretty sure it's not *too* sweet; I think both boys and girls could enjoy it. I *so* want the endpaper for wrapping paper or bedspread. "
— Cheryl, 6/6/2010" Sweet friendship book. Especially when children have feelings they can't express especially to the opposite sex. Rabbits and mice are the characters and the illustrations are excellent! "
