The Kissing Hand

At the beginning of the school year I always read The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn. It is the most adorable story about a little raccoon who is afraid to go to school. We have a cute little stuffed raccoon that we use to give each child a little kiss on their hand. Our kids love this story and always love cuddling with Chester the Raccoon in our reading area.

I downloaded a cute Kissing Hand game that i colored in the hearts, laminated and use along with this story in our math area. I got the game at Kissing hand
