I bought this to go in a gift basket of favorite books for a friend. I chose the board book version since it was going to a one-year-old. This is an ABBREVIATED version of the original book. We have and like the original book (large, hardback picture book). It's a sweet story, and my older child found it amusing that Chester goes to school at night with other nocturnal animals. The shortened version of this board book doesn't get to the part where Chester goes to school. It stops just after Chester's mom kisses his hand. (No Chester giving a kissing hand to mom in return).
Very cute story. Read it to my daughter before first day of kindergarten and now we give her kisses in her palms everyday before school so she can have one whenever she wants by pulling them out of her pocket.
I absolutely love this book! It is about a little raccoon that is going to school. Mom raccoon gives a little kiss on his hand for him to keep while away. This is a sweet little ritual to do with your children. I recommend this to kids who are having a hard time with separation anxiety, but all kids can benefit from this story (I have both the regular book and the board book now). I also bought a little puppet raccoon who I call Chester and kids love when he tells the story!
We just bought this book on my friend's recommendation as my son is nervous about starting school. This is a really sweet book for that purpose. The only part I don't like is it says Chester will spend nights away at school. I guess that is because he's a raccoon, but it kind of bothers me.
This book has helped my daughter deal with going to school on those mornings that she just doesn't want to go. I recommend if you have a child who has a hard time leaving home in the morning. A very sweet story.
Loved this book as a child and was so excited to give it to the boy I was nannying for as a going away present. This is perfect for young children since it is a board book and a bit more simplified than the original.
Super disappointed. This book does not include the entire story. At the end, Chester leaves a kiss in his mother's hand so she will always have him with her. This was not included in the board book. Such a sweet part of the story is missing. :-(
This one of my all time FAVORITE children's books EVER!!! To now have it available in a board book with a shortened story allows me to use it in my classes for children of a younger age (and attention span) and to allow my early reader to read it aloud with a feeling of accomplishment since it does not take as long to read. Believe me when I say that nothing is lost with this version and the heart, characters and love is still there! 5 stars
