Product Description

Amazon.com Review
Chester Raccoon doesn't want to go to school--he wants to stay home with his mother. She assures him that he'll love school--with its promise of new friends, new toys, and new books. Even better, she has a special secret that's been in the family for years--the Kissing Hand. This secret, she tells him, will make school seem as cozy as home. She takes her son's hand, spreads his tiny fingers into a fan and kisses his palm--smack dab in the middle: "Chester felt his mother's kiss rush from his hand, up his arm, and into his heart." Whenever he feels lonely at school, all he has to do is press his hand to his cheek to feel the warmth of his mother's kiss. Chester is so pleased with his Kissing Hand that he--in a genuinely touching moment--gives his mom a Kissing Hand, too, to comfort her when he is away. Audrey Penn's The Kissing Hand, published by the Child Welfare League of America, is just the right book for any child taking that fledgling plunge into preschool--or for any youngster who is temporarily separated from home or loved ones. The rough but endearing raccoon illustrations are as satisfying and soothing for anxious children as the simple story. (Ages 5 and older) --Karin Snelson |

Wonderfully warm by Vicki (New York)  5 Stars
November 23, 2009
Great short story with cute characters. I purchased for an almost 4 and a 5 year old. Perfect for the start of kindergarten. We have used the kissing hand to help with the long days and the sometimes-overwhelming feelings my 5-year-old has had with new experiences of independence in school without Mommy. I put a kiss in his hand to take with him and he told me it made him feel much better, not so scary. Wonderful way to send a bit of yourself with your child, where ever they may go, and they can't leave it behind or misplace it.

Magical; helpful by MommyDearest (Chicago area) 5 Stars
November 05, 2009
Such a sweet story which helped my "Mommy's Girl" 5-year-old daughter adjust to all-day Kindergarten this fall. I highly recommend it for those parents who also have little cling-ons. It will likely help them through their first days of being away at school "forever" in kid time (i.e., 7 hours in real time).

Fantastic for kids!!! by Laura E. Shaw (Dallas, TX United States) 5 Stars
October 06, 2009
I read this to my 3 year old last nite and showed her what the "kissing hand" is and she loves it. I'll ask her "where's your kissing hand?" and she puts her hand on the side of her face; I ask her what does it say and she says "I love you, mommy."...SNIFF SNIFF. What a sweet story and it makes her smile every time.
