A POCKET FULL OF KISSES

A POCKET FULL OF KISSES
By Audrey Penn
Published by: Tanglewood




My children enjoy me reading The Kissing Hand to them and have fallen in love with its main character, a sweet raccoon named Chester.   I was excited to learn of two other books by the same author, Audrey Penn: The Kiss Good-bye and A Pocket Full of Kisses.  In A Pocket Full of Kisses, Chester shares with his mother the frustration of having a little brother who always follows him and plays with his toys.  He also gets quite jealous when he sees his mother giving the baby a kissing hand.  His mother reassures him in her gentle way that she has enough love for the both of them.  And then, because he is the oldest she proceeds to give him a little something extra.  It is a great book for any family who has added to their numbers.
