The Chester Books by Audrey Penn: Chester Pack : Chester Raccoon and the Acorn Full of Memories / Chester Raccoon and the Big Bad Bully / The Kissing Hand / A Kiss Goodbye (Kissing Hand Books)
Perhaps no story has helped children deal with separation anxiety more than The Kissing Hand, the heartwarming classic about a little raccoon off to school for the first time and worried about missing his mama. Mama Raccoon offers her little one a good-bye trick that really works—not just for Chester Raccoon, but for every kid who's ever read the book! In her follow-ups to this successful picture book, Audrey Penn shows how Chester Raccoon manages some of the other challenges of childhood—from moving to a new community to dealing with a schoolyard bully and coping with the death of a friend. In each sweet and lively story, Mama Raccoon offers children everywhere the kind of practical solutions that really make a difference. The adorable illustrations of the woodland animals are truly a treat! Includes The Kissing Hand, Chester Raccoon and the Acorn Full of Memories, A Kiss Goodbye, Chester Raccoon and the Big Bad Bully, and Chester Raccoon and the Acorn Full of Memories.
