Book Reviews of The Kissing Hand
Book Review: The Kissing Hand
Summary: 5 Stars
This is supposed to be a book for children learning to venture out for the first time w/out mom there to guide them! Ha! This can also be a book for mom in the reverse. It's a wonderful book for everyone. I purchased the Chester the Raccoon plush animal to hug while reading or being read to! The word that comes to mind is comforting. Don't hesitate to buy this for new parents, grandparents, or anyone sending a child out into the world w/out themBook 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: The Kissing Hand
Summary: 5 Stars
My four year old grandson was having a hard time at preschool when it was nap time - missing mommy and not wanting to stay "in his spot" for 2 hours. One morning his mother told him the story of The Kissing Hand. When she told me about what a rough time Brady was having, I immediately went to Amazon and purchased the book at an extremely reasonable price, I might add. I was delighted when it arrived long, long before the promised date. Needless to say, Brady absolutely LOVES this book and the heart stickers with "I Love You" were also a tremendous hit (just wish they would stick a little longer). Mom also made a small child size photo album of family members and friends for Brady to look at when he gets lonely at school. He did comment that he would still be sad because he wanted a "real mommy" not a "picture mommy!"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!!!
Book Review: Timeless!
Summary: 5 Stars
I found that when a children's book becomes a National Bestseller or wins prestigious awards they all happen for very good reasons and they have always been accurate in their assessment. "The Kissing Hand" is no exception.
This is the story of a child raccoon who must leave for school but the separation anxiety has already taken over the youngster as he must leave his mother. His mother kisses inside his hand so that he may remind himself that his mother's never far away but right there in his palm. The real impact of this story is what happens next. The child understands that his mother's pain is not any different than his own. So, he kisses his mother's palm, too.
This is a very powerful story that reminds an adult like myself that symbolism should not be ignored for it can serve to shield us from our fears at any age.
