    It’s Valentine’s Day, and The Critter Club is singing telegrams for charity—but will Ellie receive some of the love she is giving?

    Valentine’s Day is coming up, and to raise money for a charity called Puppy Love, Ellie suggests that she and The Critter Club girls sell singing telegrams. The girls have a lot of fun writing and performing the songs, but all the holiday spirit makes Ellie wish someone would send her a singing telegram! Will Ellie get her wish?

    With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, The Critter Club chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.

      Love Is in the Air

      Early on a Saturday morning, Ellie and her three best friends, Liz, Marion, and Amy, were making valentines in Amy’s kitchen. The girls had slept over at Amy’s house. They were still in their pajamas!

      Ten down, ten to go! Ellie said, adding a valentine to her DONE pile. She smiled. Ellie loved seeing her name in red glitter!

      Valentine’s Day was next Friday—less than a week away! There would be a party in their second-grade class. The girls were making valentines to give to their classmates.

      Valentine’s Day is so much fun, said Liz as she finished up her second valentine. Liz was a true artist. She was taking lots of time on each card.

      Me too, Marion said. February would be so boring without it. Marion was using lots of ribbon. Each one of her cards looked like an award. Marion knew all about winning awards. She was really good at piano and ballet and a great horseback rider.

      The Critter Club was the animal shelter that the four girls had started in their town of Santa Vista. Their friend Ms. Sullivan had come up with the idea after the girls had found her missing puppy. Ms. Sullivan had even let them take over her empty barn. Now it was the Critter Club! With the help of Amy’s mom, who was a veterinarian,
