It's Valentine's Day, and Megabat wants to show Bird Girl that he loves her. But how? Easy! Or is it? The next laugh-out-loud book in this sweet and funny illustrated chapter book series featuring a talking bat.

Megabat loves Bird Girl, but he's having trouble coming up with a Valentine's surprise that she actually likes.

Daniel is trying to earn his Caring and Sharing Bird Scout badge by bringing valentines to residents at a retirement home.

Megabat keeps trying to impress Bird Girl with his marvelous gifts that are things HE loves, but it's not working. And she seems to be obsessed with a majestic eagle.

Daniel and his fellow Bird Scouts create chaos at the retirement home and learn a lesson in how NOT to get a Caring and Sharing badge.

Megabat finally learns about smushy love stuff from his new friends at the retirement home, but is it too late? Has he lost Bird Girl forever? And will Daniel ever earn his Caring and Sharing badge? Kris Easler's adorable illustrations paired with Anna Humphrey's hilarious text make for another unforgettable Megabat adventure, one that will appeal to Megabat fans and newcomers!
