It's about a raccoon going to school for the first time, and he's a little hesitant. His mom tells him about a secret, something that will help him get through the "nights" at school. She then kisses his hand and the love goes through his whole body. Whenever he gets sad at school, he can press his hand against his cheek and feel his momma's love. As a preschool teacher myself, we read this the first day every year and then make a "kissing hand" to take home (a handprint with a heart in the middle). Today was my own son's first day of preschool. We read the book last night, and gave each other kissing hands. Whenever we missed each other today, we pressed our hands against our cheeks. Made for an easier day on both parts! The Kissing Hand. It’s about a raccoon going to school for the first time, and he’s a little hesitant.

It's so cute, and has the same set up as The Night Before Christmas. I also use this at the end of the year in my pre-k class. They love it! (And by the way, your blog rocks!)

About 40 total. Love reading all of these with my boys and volunteering to go read during the first days of school at school.

I enjoy reading your ideas. We just checked out a fantastic school book at the library, We All Go Travelling By by Sheena Roberts. Fantastic for little ones and I can imagine a child entering Kindergarten would love it. It is a song also & our book came with the audio CD. Great blog! I enjoy reading your ideas.
