My Review

I chose to read this book after receiving a free copy from iRead Book Tours. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

Poor Olive learns that tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and he’s so scared, he wants to defeat the princess of love. When his mom agrees to help him do that, however, he realizes that the world would not be a good place without love. His mom tells him that he can celebrate Valentine’s Day any way he wants…he doesn’t have to get married!

Olive and the Valentine’s Spell is a cute story with fun text to read and bright and colorful illustrations.
