Somebody loves you, Mr. Hatch!

Here is a great book for Valentine's Day! Mr. Hatch leads a sad existence, alone and friendless and working at the shoelace factory. One Valentine's Day, he gets a giant box of candy, with a card saying "Somebody loves you". Of course Mr. Hatch wonders who sent it to him, and becomes outgoing and friendly with everyone he sees, thinking this may be the person who sent it. He shares the candy at work, and gets friendly responses. He helps people he knows, and even gives parties. By the time the postman arrives with the news that the package was delivered to the wrong address, Mr. Hatch has completely transformed his life. I love Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch.
