CUPID (small format) Cole, Babette

Babette Cole's Cupid is a cheeky, irreverent take on the world's most mischievous matchmaker. This small-format picture book follows the winged cherub as he bumbles through his romantic duties, shooting arrows with hilariously chaotic results. Cole's signature playful illustrations and subversive humor turn Valentine's Day mythology into something delightfully absurd — think mismatched couples, accidental love triangles, and plenty of cartoon mayhem. It's sweet without being sappy, funny without being mean, and perfectly captures the ridiculous unpredictability of falling in love. The small format makes it a charming gift or impulse buy. For fans of Cole's irreverent style (like Princess Smartypants) or anyone who wants their romance with a side of chaos.
