Book Reviews of The Kissing Hand
Book Review: No child should go without this book...
Summary: 5 Stars
The Kissing Hand is a beautifully written book for children of ALL ages (even the adult children!!). My five year old loves this book and we read it together at least 3 times a week. We now have a tradition of giving each other "the kissing hand" before she heads into school each morning. It's also good for a parent who is away from home a lot, so the child can take their kissing hand with them wherever Mom or Dad can't be.Book Review: Meh
Summary: 3 Stars
It's not a bad book, it's just not that interesting to me. And while the kissing hand concept is definitely useful for any child worrying about leaving their parents for the day, I thought it was presented in an excessively sentimental way. I always find too much sentimentality just encourages children to dwell on how upset they are, rather than comforting them.
But if it works for your kid, great.
Book Review: A Tradition for Us Now
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my daughter several years ago before going out of town for a business trip. Even though the theme is for children starting school, the message is the same. My daughter and I always give each other kissing hands before we leave each other, and it has become our special tradition. Now that she's starting school, this book has become even more meaningful. I highly recommend it!Book Review: tear jerker

My daughter's kindergarten teacher read this to the kids and the parents the first day of school for orientation. I can tell you not a dry eye with the bunch of us parents! It was so touching that evening as well when my daughter asked me to kiss her hand so she could take it to school with her the first day. This will be an heirloom book for my other child as well as my grandchildrenBook Review: Cute book
Summary: 4 Stars
I was told about this book by several Moms after telling them about my 5 year old having trouble adjusting to kindergarten. I bought it hoping he would take the idea of having a kiss on his hand all date. Unfortunately, we read it once and he didn't relate to the book. It is a very cute book and I'm sure it would benefit alot of 4-5 year olds and their worried Moms!!
