Book Reviews of The Kissing Hand
Book Review: A book even Mommies need
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter, Lee Lee, started school this year and one of the first books her teacher read to her was "The Kissing Hand" by Audrey Penn. Lee Lee loved this book and was talking about it all the time so I ordered it from Scholastic books.
I LOVE this book. Little Chester is starting school but is sad because he is going to miss mommy. Mommy teaches him the secret of the kissing hand. She spreads his hand out and kisses the middle of it. She tells him that whenever he misses her to place his hand on his cheek and it's her sending him a kiss and saying "mommy loves you".
I was smiling and bawling by then end of this book. I love when Chester gives him mommy a kissing hand too. Believe me, i think mommies need the kissing hand more then their little ones, Lee Lee agrees. She laughed and said, "maybe then you wont cry so much when I leave for school." She's right, LOL.
We also bought "Chester Raccoon and the Acorn Full of Memories" because it was the same author. It's a great book but please be prepared to talk with your little one about death. We had the unfortunate circumstances to have to share with Lee Lee about death about a year ago and this book would have been a nice way to work through it. Another book that had me bawling, but very good.
Book Review: A heartwarming story
Summary: 5 Stars
My sons and I learned about this book while visiting a friend in the midwest. I ordered it as soon as we returned home. It is a heartwarming story. I especially love it and have used the story for saying good bye at preschool and when I have to travel for business. I think it would also be a cute gift for anyone nervous about embarking on a new adventure, young or old. Get it! This book will become one of your favorites.Book Review: A must for toddlers
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a must read for any child who will leave their family home for an extended time, whether it be daycare, pre-school or Kindergarten. I purchased this book long ago for my granddaughter who lives in another state, and whenever we parted we would leave each other with a kiss, and when I would talk with her on the phone she would hold her hand to the phone and I would leave her with a kiss. A great gift for grandchildren.Book Review: A sweet tale for any child.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was purchased as a holiday gift for our grandchildren. I got to read it aloud and illustrate the title just recently. It is a reminder for children that the love you have for them is as close as their hand and the people they love are never REALLY far away.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.
