Petersen impresses with his picture-book debut about a bunny's earnest quest for the perfect Valentine's Day gift for his wife. Lush, detailed illustrations drawn in ink and then digitally colored enrich the cozy reading experience. Superbly designed and executed with love; children of any age will appreciate the story's message and celebrate Jasper's quiet success. - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Sweet...punctuated with bits of humor and suspense. Petersen, the creator of the Mouse Guard comics, makes his picture-book debut here. - Booklist
Petersen's whimsical, full-bleed illustrations with Victorian-pattern details add warmth and gentle humor to the story. Adults and children alike will smile when, along with Jasper, they discover his gift to Lilly. The timeless quality of the theme and perfect cast of supporting characters make this valentine story a head (or at least two rabbit ears) above the rest. - School Library Journal
