This Valentine's Day Adapted Book, "Where is the Heart?" is fun and interactive Valentine's Day themed adapted book that focuses on basic Valentine's Day themed vocabulary, matching skills, position words, Wh-questions, and sequencing story events.

In this silly Valentine's Day story, there is trouble on Valentine's Day. The paper heart has gone missing and none of the "friends" can seem to find it!
