    Not an issue.

    Lots of talk of romance and love.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about Charlie Brown's disappointment at not getting any Valentines. Did the action of the other characters on the next day make up for ignoring him before? In school Valentine's Day exchanges, do you think it's fair to have to give a card to every classmate, or should you be able to choose your recipients? What do you think about Linus' statement that the money you spend on your Valentine shows how much you care about them?
