Hello, my wonderful reading friends! I’m so happy you’re here to read with me. Are you ready for a fun story? Valentine’s Day is almost here, and our friend Splat the Cat has a special Valentine for someone in his class. Let’s find out who it is as we read “Love, Splat.” If you have the book, grab it and read along!
Splat looked in the mirror and saw a worried cat looking back. His heart was beating fast, and his tummy felt funny. He fixed his whiskers, fluffed his fur, and brushed his teeth. Today was Valentine’s Day, and he wanted to look perfect! Splat made cards for everyone in his class, but he made a special card for a cat named Kitten. She had snowy white paws and bright green eyes, and Splat liked her more than fish sticks and ice cream!
But whenever Kitten saw Splat, she would pull his ears, poke his belly, tie his tail, and call him silly names before running away. Splat didn’t understand why she did that. His friend Seymour just shook his head.
Splat practiced his smile one last time and left the bathroom. His family wished him a good morning. He didn’t eat breakfast because he was too busy looking at a little red envelope. On the front, in his best writing, was the name: Kitten. Splat put the envelope in his bag and went to school. His tummy made loud noises all the way there because he was so nervous.
When he got to school, he accidentally bumped into Kitten. He tried to say sorry, but his tongue felt funny, his legs wobbled, and his tummy rumbled even louder. Kitten gave him a funny look, pulled his ears, poked his belly, tied his tail, called him smelly, and ran away. Splat sighed, and Seymour shook his head again.
At school, everyone exchanged Valentines. Splat held onto his little red envelope tightly. “I’ll give it to her soon,” he told Seymour. But then it was recess, and Splat sat quietly on a bench, still holding the envelope. He didn’t notice a cat sneaking up behind him.
“Boo!” shouted Spike, making Splat jump and drop the envelope. Spike picked it up and read the name. “I like Kitten too,” Spike said. “And I like her more than you do.”
“But I like Kitten this much,” Splat said.
“And I like her this much,” Spike said, drawing a big heart around the playground.
“Oh,” Splat groaned. “I made Kitten a special Valentine card.”
“You call that a card?” Spike said with a smirk. Splat felt sad and threw his card in the trash.
Kitten opened Spike’s card, which said, “You are so lucky that I like you.” Kitten smiled, but Splat turned away, feeling sad. He didn’t see Kitten pick up his card from the trash or read the name on it. Kitten opened Splat’s card and saw the words: “I like you.”
Kitten sat next to Splat and gave him a little pink envelope. On the front was his name: Splat. Inside, the card had a rhyme:
“Your fur is soft, and I like to stroke it. You make a silly noise in your belly when I poke it. Your tail’s so bendy, it makes me laugh, and you smell really nice when you’ve just had a bath.”
Inside the card, in Kitten’s best writing, were the words: “I like you.”
Splat was very happy. Kitten found his card and liked him back!
I hope you enjoyed our story today. Have a very happy Valentine’s Day! See you next time!

“Love, Splat,” written and illustrated by Rob Scotton.
Splat stared into the bathroom mirror. A worried Splat stared back. His heart drummed, and his tummy rumbled. He straightened his whiskers, ruffled his fur, and brushed his teeth. Today, he wanted to look just right. After all, today was Valentine’s Day! Splat had made cards for everyone in his class, and he also made a special card for a certain cat in his class, Kitten. She had snowy white paws and pea green eyes, and Splat liked her more than fish sticks and ice cream. But whenever Kitten saw Splat, she pulled his ears, poked his belly, tied his tail, and called him smelly, then she’d run away. Why does she do that? Splat sighed. Seymour shook his head.
Splat practiced his smile one last time and left the bathroom. His family wished him a very good morning. He ignored his breakfast and gazed at a little red envelope. On the front of the envelope, in Splat’s very best writing, was a single name: Kitten. Splat tucked the envelope in his bag and left for school. His tummy rumbled loudly all the way. He was so busy telling his tummy to be quiet that he didn’t see Kitten coming around the corner.
“Splat!” he bumped into her, and when he tried to say sorry, his tongue turned to jelly, his legs wobbled like rubber, and his tummy rumbled louder than ever. This happened every time he saw Kitten. Kitten gave Splat a funny look, then she pulled his ears, poked his belly, tied his tail, and called him smelly, and ran away. Why does she do that? He sighed. Seymour shook his head.
Later in cat school, all the class swapped their Valentines. Splat sat at his desk clutching the little red envelope. “I’ll give it to her soon,” he said to Seymour, but soon it was recess. Splat sat quietly on a bench, still clutching the little red envelope. He didn’t see the cat sneaking up behind him.
“Boo!” cried Spike. Splat jumped and dropped the little red envelope. Spike picked it up and read the name on the front. “I like Kitten too,” Spike announced. “And I like her more than you do.”
“But I like Kitten this much,” said Splat.
“And I like her this much,” said Spike.
Splat pulled a piece of chalk from his pocket and drew a heart on the ground. “I like Kitten this much,” he said.
“And I like Kitten this much,” said Spike, and he drew a heart around the whole playground.
“Oh,” groaned Splat. “I made Kitten a special Valentine card.”
“You call that a card?” Spike said smugly.
“Oh,” groaned Splat. “It’s not fair.” Seymour shook his head. Splat’s card looked tiny next to Spike’s, and with a sigh, he threw it in the trash.
Kitten opened Spike’s card. The message inside read, “You are so lucky that I like you.” Kitten smiled. Splat didn’t and turned away. Splat didn’t see the snowy white paws lift the little red envelope from the trash or the pea green eyes read the name on the front. Kitten took the card from the envelope and opened it. In Splat’s very best writing were three little words: “I like you.”
Kitten sat down next to Splat and gave him a little pink envelope. On the front was a single name: Splat. Splat opened the envelope, and on the card was a rhyme:
“Your fur is soft, and I like to stroke it. You make a silly noise in your belly when I poke it. Your tail’s so bendy, it makes me laugh, and you smell really nice when you’ve just had a bath.”
Inside the card, in Kitten’s very best writing, were three little words: “I like you.”
I think Splat was very happy. Kitten found his card in the trash, and he found out that she liked him back.
I hope you enjoyed our story today and have a very happy Valentine’s Day! See you next time!
