Book Reviews of The Kissing Hand
Book Review: A Phenomenal Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a 24 year old soon-to-be married woman. When my parents moved me into my college dorm room, they left little presents wrapped up in all of the boxes I had to unpack. As you can imagine, once they left I was eager to get situated and began unpacking boxes and filling drawers one-by-one. One of the little presents I came across was this book. Of course, I wasted no time reading it, and soon found myself with tears streaming down my face. I was on my own for the first time, but I knew I knew I wasn't alone; nor was I ever far from my parent's love. It brings tears to my eyes just remembering how touched I was reading that for the first time. This is a fantasic book for everyone- whether you're 5 years old and starting kindergarten for the first time, or 18 and in college.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: A Very Good Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book because my daughter bought one at her school for "us" when she was very young(separated because of divorce), it was lost in a move and it had sentimental value for both of us...it's not "the one" she bought, but it's just as good and in great condition.Book Review: A Wonderful, Sweet, Heartwarming Story
Summary: 5 Stars
My 4 year old daughter's new teacher read THE KISSING HAND to the class on the first day of school, and she was very taken with the story. She seemed to make an immediate connection with it. She talked about it so much, that I ordered a copy for home. And we have read this story almost every night since it arrived.
THE KISSING HAND is the story of a young raccoon named Chester. Chester does not want to go to school; he wants to stay home with his mother. But his mother shows him a special family secret - THE KISSING HAND. THE KISSING HAND let's Chester know that his mother's love is with him always, no matter where he is.
THE KISSING HAND is a perfect story for any child facing a new situation on their own. All any child wants to know is that they are loved, totally, completely, and always. It is that unconditional love that gives children confidence to face new situations with self-assurance and independence.
The prose is clear and simple; the illustrations are lovely, detailed, and colorful. THE KISSING HAND is a charming, endearing story that will touch a chord with any young child and quickly become a family favorite. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
