The Kissing Hand Review
User Submitted The Kissing Hand ReviewsOctober 6, 2008 A heartwarming story 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. September 14, 2008 Meh 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. September 6, 2008 perfect before-kindergarten present 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. September 4, 2008 tear jerker 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 August 18, 2008 A Very Good Book 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. June 28, 2008 Adorable book that makes parents' love tangible This is an adorable book. Some kids have a harder time learning to separate from their parents at any age. This book gives a concrete way of understanding that children can take their parents' love with them even when their parents aren't there. Most people think of it as a book for starting kindgergarten, but it would help children with nighttime fears, with parents who travel for work, or those who miss far-away relatives (you can still love and be loved by someone who isn't there). It helps parents learn to let go while still staying close, too. May 30, 2008 The sweetest book around! 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!!! April 13, 2008 Wonderful A wonderful book that helped my son get through the tough times of going to pre-school and being away from Mom. It helped him to know that I was always with him. April 10, 2008 Great Product Beautiful children's story -- PERFECT for young, elementary school-aged children who get homesick easily or have a hard time being apart from parents. Illustrations are high quality. Excellent choice! March 2, 2008 The Kissing Hand I really liked this book because it was a nice story. The best part was when Chesters mom gave him the kissing hand so he wouldn't be sad or lonely at school. I also liked when he gave one to his mom so she would have a kissing hand while he was gone.
