Moving is hard on everyone, but for children it can be especailly traumatic. I think our girls handled our recent move in stride, but sometimes I wonder if they truly understand. Not too long before we left, our five year old told our neighbor that we were leaving for three weeks and would be back in time for her birthday. I explained that it was more like three years, and that we weren't exactly sure when we'd be back. But in any case, books like these can help make the transition a little ...more
Sweet and touching as usual, Penn discusses the nature of moving and adapting to a new environment, calling it an adventure for the reluctant. Readers feel Chester's apprehension, and there's a good bit to discuss on why they need to move (their tree is being cut for wood, as are trees throughout the forest). The ending is disappointing as a girl raccoon is introduced, and from the artwork, it seems all Chester's concerns vanish on seeing her. Otherwise, the goodbyes and discussion between Chest...more

His mother reassures him that just like last time when he didn't want to go to school, moving will bring him great new friends, and an exciting new places to live.

A raccoon family has to move because people are coming to cut down their tree and Chester is really sad until he meets a new friend at his new home. This would be a great book to read to children who just moved to show them that everything is going to be okay. Also, it teaches about how important the environment is to the animals and that trees are their homes.
This is another terrific book about chester Raccoon. In this story he finds out he has to leave his home because it will be cut down. Like many other children , he has a fear of what his new home witll be like and if he will be happy there. No worries, he soon settles in and makes new friends. Great story to read to children who have to move.

As a sequel to "The Kissing Hand" Chester is upset about his family moving to another tree. Tree choppers have marked the forest to be chopped down and all of the critters must leave. This book is a great book about being scared of change but things will work out in the end.
This book is a sequel to 'The Kissing Hand'
I really liked this book. It has really nice illustrations and the theme was good. As most of Audrey Penn's books, it focuses on a part of childhood that is tough, and helps them feel better.
4/5 stars

Animal story about racoons that move to find a new home. The young racoon deals with losing old friends and home to make new friends and a new home. Cute story for students who may be new to the school or late comers in the school year.
Chester the raccoon and his family must move. He is not excited about the idea and does not understand why this change has to happen. His mother and a new friend help him to see the good in the move. Sweet story.
The racoon is moving. This book is great to help children cope with change especially moving A great text- to self, text-to others book
Another great book from Grandma Green. This is a great book for kids moving or starting up school for the first time.
the story of a young raccon as he leaves his home to move to a new neighorhood, and how he makes new friends
Not a really good message for kids: trees get chopped down and animals have to move, but they're happier there. Right. I'm sure the animals are just as happy when their next tree gets chopped down...
The perfect book to ease the worries of moving for a young child. The adventures of Chester continue and the love for his Mom is still shining through.
Well-written children's book about a mother raccoon and her two sons who are forced to move and leave their home.
Cute follow-up to the Kissing hand...about moving to a new home and saying goodbye.
Wonderful story about moving. Great illustrations as well.
