Handpicked, pre-owned, A Pocket Full of Kisses by Audrey Penn - First Edition 2004
Cover: Hardcover with slipcover
Condition: Very Good, no signs of wear
In this tender sequel to the New York Times bestseller and children‘s classic The Kissing Hand, Audrey Penn provides parents with another tale of love and reassurance to share with their children. Chester Raccoon has a baby brother―and the baby brother is taking over his territory. When Chester sees his mother give his baby brother a Kissing Hand―his Kissing Hand―he is overcome with sadness, but Mrs. Raccoon soothes his fears with her own special brand of wisdom, finding just the right way to let Chester know he is deeply loved. Brought to life by Barbara Leonard Gibson‘s warm illustrations, this story is perfect for families who are adjusting to all the changes new members can bring.
From Booklist:
PreS-Gr. 2. The Kissing Hand (1995), though too sweet for many tastes, has developed such a following that many libraries cannot fill the demand each year before the start of school. This sequel is also quite sweet, but those who love the original may want to read the new story about Chester Raccoon. Now beyond his kindergarten separation anxiety, Chester has a new problem: dealing with his younger brother, who plays with his toys, pulls his tail, follows him around, and even shares his mother‘s gift of a "Kissing Hand" (Mom kisses Chester‘s palm, and Chester can transfer the kiss to his cheek whenever he needs comfort). Chester‘s mother reassures him that she will never run out of Kissing Hands. In fact, she has a spare for Chester to give his brother when he needs a big brother‘s care. Teeming with details, Gibson‘s paintings depict an idyllic woodland populated with friendly beasts, birds, and bugs that seem to pause and take an interest in the raccoons‘ conversations. The focus of the artwork, as well as the story, is clearly on the loving mother-and-child relationship. Recommended for libraries in which the earlier book has a following. Carolyn Phelan
