Summary: perfect first day of school book
Comment: This is the perfect book to help prepare your child for that all-important first day of school (or for that matter, any extended absence from you, such as staying overnight at a friend's for the first time); it's one of those books like Runaway Bunny which is very comforting and reassuring that a parent's love will always be there.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A heartwarming story
Comment: My sons and I learned about this book while visiting a friend in the midwest. I ordered it as soon as we returned home. It is a heartwarming story. I especially love it and have used the story for saying good bye at preschool and when I have to travel for business. I think it would also be a cute gift for anyone nervous about embarking on a new adventure, young or old. Get it! This book will become one of your favorites.

Summary: Meh
Comment: It's not a bad book, it's just not that interesting to me. And while the kissing hand concept is definitely useful for any child worrying about leaving their parents for the day, I thought it was presented in an excessively sentimental way. I always find too much sentimentality just encourages children to dwell on how upset they are, rather than comforting them.
But if it works for your kid, great.

Summary: perfect before-kindergarten present
Comment: Like many teachers, I used this book on my first day for my kindergarten class. I would also recommend giving this book as a present to all of the parents that have a child going to kindergarten for the first time.
Customer Rating:
Summary: tear jerker
Comment: My daughter's kindergarten teacher read this to the kids and the parents the first day of school for orientation. I can tell you not a dry eye with the bunch of us parents! It was so touching that evening as well when my daughter asked me to kiss her hand so she could take it to school with her the first day. This will be an heirloom book for my other child as well as my grandchildren
