Why read it?
1 author picked The Love Letter as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A misunderstanding about the intended recipient of a love letter first brings Hedgehog, Bunny, and Squirrel great joy, but then threatens their friendship. In the end, Mouse helps them remember why they love each other. The final illustration even suggests that Mouse is joining their circle, since after all, love is unlimited.

From Anne's list on The best children’s picture books about navigating friendship.
