A Lovely Love Story

'The fierce Dinosaur was TRAPPED inside his CAGE of ICE. Although it was COLD he was HAPPY in there. It was, after all, HIS cage. Then along came the Lovely Other Dinosaur." —A Lovely Love Story

In many relationships, special feelings just can't be expressed with lingerie or candy. Edward Monkton, one of the UK's modern cultural icons, is making his American debut with his delightful book, A Lovely Love Story (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $9.95, January 2007). In this tale, a free-spirited girl dinosaur meets a fierce but funny boy dinosaur, and though the two are very different, they develop tender feelings for each other. Illustrated with two-dimensional black and white drawings and a simple story, this heart-warming gift book will delight readers with its profound message of true love.

The perfect valentine for any loving person to give to his or her partner, A Lovely Love Story will be a welcome gift for romantics of any age, from teenagers in puppy love to aging couples celebrating golden anniversaries. As it tells the story of love that spans time and evolving feelings, A Lovely Love Story promotes happiness, committed relationships, and love despite petty differences.
