    About this ebook

    Moving is hard on everyone, but especially children. Chester Racoon, whom readers have come to know and love through the New York Times bestseller The Kissing Hand, and its sequel, A Pocket Full of Kisses, is facing another dilemma common to the lives of many children; he and his family are moving. Young readers will love the way Chester says goodbye to his old home and learns that there are some exciting aspects to his new home.

      We meet Chester the Raccoon again.

      This time, he has to move with his family because their tree is marked to be cut down. Change is always difficult, for the young and the not-so-young. Mother helps Chester through the move to the new tree they will live in. This is a nice addition to any Kindergarten to second grade class or school library. Just like the Franklin books, that help little ones learn the right way to behave and help little ones transition, Chester is turning into a baby-step coming-of-age series for young elementary aged kids.

      I received an e-book version of this story from Net Galley.
    • 4/5
      As with the other books in the Kissing Hand series, Penn handles a subject important to young children, and does so in such a gentle, optimistic way that readers can't help but feel comforted.

      Chester and his family can no longer live in their tree. The tree has been marked for removal and Chester, his mother, and brother will have to move to a new tree in another part of the forest. Mrs. Raccoon tries to convince Chester that this will be an adventure, but Chester doesn't want an adventure...he wants his tree.

      Mrs. Raccoon is always right, though, and Chester finds this time is no different. Sometimes an adventure is really the start of something even more wonderful.
    • 5/5
      Excellent book for September K or grade 1. Story is about a raccoon who is afraid to go to school for the first day.
    • 4/5
      Sometimes we do not like doing things, but we have to do them anyways. This little raccoon did not want to leave his home in the tree, but his mother insisted. He was not happy at first, but in the end he met new friends and decided he wanted to stay in his new home. This shows children to always look at the bright side of things.
