Review/Summary:
In an indiscreet way, this story teaches children about the importance of giving. More than anything, Margery wants to receive a Valentine in the mail. However, her mother tells her that in order to expect a Valentine, she needs to send one. So, Margery sets to work making her grandfather a Valentine card and quickly mails it to him. She waits, day after day (checking the lift-the-flap) mailbox to see if he sends one in return. Just as sadness fills Margery that she won't be getting a Valentine, one arrives!
