This entertaining story collects the clichés about Valentine's Day. Zany illustrations portray Santa Claus in unconventional situations. It is surprising to see Santa go on a trip around the Gaspé or get into a rage about the dentist. Not to mention his enthusiasm for horticulture—sheer madness, according to Mrs. Claus! Growing flowers in the Arctic seems every bit as difficult as rekindling a couple's romance. This story shows us that Valentine's Day is all about recapturing love.
