The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn
This story is about a little raccoon that has a fear of going to school until his mother fills him in on an old family secret "the kissing hand". This book is applicable to all the things children may fear at one point or another; school, camp, sleeping at a friend's house. It has beautiful pictures that sparked my children's interest and kept it until the end of the book. They wanted to talk about what they saw. When the book was done my son opened my hand and kissed my palm, so adorable!
Book Review: Average
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good book if your child is nervous about school. Mine is not so he really wasn't into it. He did think it was interesting that the animal was nocturnal and went to school at night. It is my understanding that lots of schools read this to the younger students the first day of class. My nephew was in kindergarten last year and my sister is a first grade teacher and both classes did read this, so if your school does this it might be a good idea to read it to your child as something familiar that first day of class.Book Review: Warm!
Summary: 5 Stars
This beautiful written story uses imagination, love and wonderful characters to send a message across to all children of the world who ever felt as though they were alone or afraid to start something new. 'The Kissing Hand' is beautifully written. The message is clear and good to share with your children when they are struggling with some separation anxiety. Fantastic! The illustrations are beautiful, detailed and play on the imagination. LOVE IT!

Book Review: Mother will be there when you return
Summary: 5 Stars
The first day of school for a kindergartner or first grade student is traumatic. Several books have been written to help the parent explain to the child that they will be waiting for them when the school day is over. Penn's The Kissing Hand belongs at the head of that list. The assurance that mother will be with Chester as he starts his formal schooling comforts the young raccoon. And the ending truly demonstrates that he understood. This is a must for every home library with young children.Book Review: The sweetest book around!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Kissing hand is a wonderful book that show's how strong the bond is between a mother and her child. We started reading this book to my daughter when she was two years old. She is now seven and we still do the "Kissing Hand". It is a sweet story that you will fall in love with and your children will ask for it for years to come. I would strongly recommend this book to everyone, especially to any parents who need to be seperated from their child for any length of time.
5 stars!!!
