Product Description
In this contemporary classic Chester Raccoon seeks like and reassurance from his mother as he ventures out into the world to attend his very first day of school.Amazon.com Review
Chester Raccoon doesn’t want to go to school–he wants to stay home with his mother. She assures him that he’ll like school–with its promise of new friends, new toys, and new books. Even better, she has a special secret that’s been in the family tree for years–the Kissing Hand. This secret, she tells him, will make school seem as cozy as home. She takes her son’s hand, spreads his tiny fingers into a fan and kisses his palm–smack dab in the middle: “Chester felt his mother’s kiss rush from his hand, up his arm, and into his heart.” Whenever he feels lonely at school, all he has to do is press his hand to his cheek to feel the warmth of his mother’s kiss. Chester is so pleased with his Kissing Hand that he–in a genuinely touching moment–gives his mom a Kissing Hand, too, to comfort her when he is away. Audrey Penn’s The Kissing Hand, published by the Child Welfare League of America, is just the right book for any child taking that fledgling plunge into preschool–or for any youngster who is temporarily separated from home or loved ones. The rough but endearing raccoon illustrations are as satisfying and soothing for nervous children as the simple tale. (Ages 5 and older) –Karin Snelson

Some of us thought the book wasn’t that appealing because children had to go to school at night and in a tree. Many of us liked the fact that you could sleep in and go to school at night. The tale had lots of things that we thought were nonsense. We liked the part when the racoon kissed his mom on the hand to make him feel better. The racoon made many friends within the tale that made him pleased. Our class thought that the book needed another title. Many students would delight in this book.

It’s not a terrible book, it’s just not that appealing to me. And while the kissing hand concept is certainly useful for any child worrying about leaving their parents for the day, I thought it was open in an excessively sentimental way. I permanently find too much corniness just encourages children to dwell on how upset they are, rather than comforting them.
But if it works for your kid, fantastic.

I bought this book after seeing severl postings and lesson plans by additional teachers online. I read it to my first grade students on the first day of school last year. We then did a “folded/wrinkled heart” activity to go with it. It’s simple, look it up and try it. It made an impression on my kids and we kept the heart up all year for everyone to see and we referred to it regularly. I’m thinking of reading it on the first day when we have parents too this coming year. It’s a sweet tale and it helps ease anxieties of small ones…and parents.
