1) Paperback Book Kissing Hand (Paperback with CD) by Tanglewood Press. 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.¤

2) Paperback Book Kissing Hand (Paperback with CD) by Tanglewood Press. 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.¤

3) Paperback Book Kissing Hand (Paperback with CD) by Tanglewood Press. Like many teachers, I used this book on my first day for my kindergarten class. I would also recommend giving this book as a present to all of the parents that have a child going to kindergarten for the first time.¤

4) Paperback Book Kissing Hand (Paperback with CD) by Tanglewood Press. 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 grandchildren¤

5) Paperback Book Kissing Hand (Paperback with CD) by Tanglewood Press. 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.¤

6) Paperback Book Kissing Hand (Paperback with CD) by Tanglewood Press. In this contemporary classic Chester Raccoon seeks love and reassurance from his mother as he ventures out into the world to attend his very first day of school.¤

7) Paperback Book Kissing Hand (Paperback with CD) by Tanglewood Press. Chester Raccoon doesn´t want to go to school--he wants to stay home with his mother. She assures him that he´ll love 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 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 anxious children as the simple story. (Ages 5 and older) --Karin Snelson¤
