Book Reviews of The Kissing Hand
Book Review: Childhood Staple
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must have book for anyone with young children. Not only is it perfect for dealing with the start of school, but it is excellent for any good byes. I would use it in any situation where your child will be away from you - before a trip, a weekend away, or even for split custody.
Not only did it help my daughter before preschool, but it was encouraging to me as well.
It is not deep and overly gushy. The message it perfectly appropriate for the age and written in a way young minds can understand without being overly preachy.
I plan to give this to nieces and nephews who are starting school.
Book Review: best first day of school book
Summary: 5 Stars
On my sons first day of kindergarten, the parents were invited to attend with the child. His teacher started out the first class with a project and then had all the students help her read this book.
Since then my son has kissed my hand every day and not had one bout of sadness at all. This book is a great way for a child learn that its ok to spend some time away from mom and that it can be fun time. I'm glad his teacher read this book while the parents were there.
I recommend this book to anyone with a child in kindergarten that is having a hard time or a child just starting school after being home with mom.
Book Review: the kissing hand
Summary: 5 Stars
This book really helped soften the blow of monthly court-ordered visitation of my custodial grandchildren to the inner city w/their paternal grandmother. The screaming scenes were just horrendous and heartbreaking as the children begged not to go. I found this book and although I can't say it was the end of the nightmare this book absolutely empowered them to deal with just that one day each month. I honestly feel this book should be known to every family court, law guardian and anyone who is in a court ordered visitation situation that is not welcomed by the children. This book was a godsend for us.Book Review: The Kissing Hand
Summary: 5 Stars
The Kissing Hand is about Chester the raccoon being scared to go to school along. His mom kisses Chester's hand so when Chester feels lonely, he can put his hand on his cheek and remember his Mommy loves him. Chester kisses his Mom's hand because he wanted to give her warm thoughts. Chester went to school and his Mom remembered he loved her.
I like that Chester would get to make new friends, play with new toys, read new books, and swing on new swings. I liked learning the sign for I love you. I think the pictures were just right. I think all kids would like to read this book.
Book Review: Wonderful Story
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a book to help prepare my daughter (and me) for the first day of preschool; The Kissing Hand was recommended by friends and family. I tried to find it at the library, but it was always checked out, so I decided to purchase it from Amazon and I am so happy I did, this is a wonderful addition to any home library. The story is so touching; both of my girls (ages three and two, just love it and so do I.) The book includes sticker, which I have used when dropping off my daughter at school. Highly recommend it to anyone getting ready for school.
