A Pocket Full of Kisses by Audrey Penn is published by is published by Tanglewood in 2006. This book has 32 pages and I gave this book a 5/5 because I love the illustrations and the story. It was very heartwarming and can really tell a true story. The genre is Fiction, The grade level is Preschool-3rd grade, The Lexile level is 830 L, and the Guided Reading Level is an I.

This book is about a raccoon family, Chester, Ronny, and Mrs. Raccoon. Chester was very upset that he had a little brother and felt that his mom wasn't giving him enough attention. Mrs. Raccoon told Chester that she would always love him and that brothers will always try to play with your toys and play with your friends, but that is just how it goes. Chester then sees Mrs. Raccoon give Ronny his kissing hand, which makes Chester very sad. Mrs. Raccoon explained that everyone has their own kissing hand and that she loved them both the same.

An activity that I would do with this book would be identifying the habitat and what animals and plants did the students see and draw a picture to show what habitat and what it looks like.

How to deal with sibling jealousy.

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautifully illustrated story about a big brother struggling to share Mama's love. My 3-year-old asked me to read this to him twice just today. We read a lot of books when I was pregnant and baby #2 was a newborn, but this book is really wonderful for dealing with tough emotions as the baby is crawling and interacting more.

I like racoons why? you ask because there nocturnal animals I like nocturnal animals

This is a sweet story of a family of raccoons. Chester Raccoon has a baby raccoon wants to take him back because he is intruding on Chester’ toys, swings, books and friends. Chester and his mom have what’s called kissing hand where she kisses the palm of Chester’s hand. When Chester sees her give a kissing hand to his brother is makes it very upset because he thought it was their special thing and that she was giving it to him. Mrs. Raccoon assures Chester that he is loved and that she in no way was giving his brother his kissing hand, that they each have their own. She explains how her love will never run out for Chester and his brother and gives Chester a special kissing hand to keep in his pocket as a spare.

I absolutely love this book, it shows the hardship that a child may feel when they gain a new sibling. I think this would be a great book for any new, older sibling, to remind them that their new sibling does not change the amount of love anyone has for them because love never runs out. The illustrations of the raccoons in this book do an amazing job of showing the emotional connection and love between them.

Chester Raccoon’s little brother plays with his toys, reads his books, and follows him everywhere. Chester wants to give him back. Mother Raccoon explains that Ronny just wants to be like Chester. She gives Chester a kiss in the middle of his palm. When she does the same for Ronny, Chester worries that Mommy Raccoon doesn’t love him any longer. So she tells him a story about the stars and the sun and Kissing Hands.

The Lexile Level for this book is, as with many picture books for young children, adult directed. The 580 Level is far beyond the reading skills of Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten children. However, this follow-up to “The Kissing Hand” is a delightfully-illustrated tale that will enchant children and parents alike. It’s a perfect book to share with a big brother or sister; the charming story is sure to be a favorite, requested to be read again and again.

Highly recommended.

A Pocket Full of Kisses comes from The Kissing Hand. Chester the raccoon has a little brother. Having a little brother made Chester a little upset and sad. Chester was upset because he felt that his mother wasn't giving him the same attention. Chester's little brother constantly follows him, plays with his toys, and his friends. But what made Chester really sad was that Chester saw his mother give his little brother his kissing hand. Then Chester's mom explains that no matter what she loves them both the same. This book made me feel sad because I could relate it to myself. My sister and I are many years apart so when she started having children I was still young. I felt that I was being replaced especially in my parent's eyes. One day when I finally expressed how I felt they said that no matter what I was their daughter and they never stop loving me. Overall, this is a really cute book it just got a little sad because of my connection to the story.

A Pocket Full of Kisses by Audrey Penn is a sequel to The Kissing Hand and is continuation of the love the mother raccoon shows and shares with her children. Chester Raccoon is now a big brother and is not happy with having to share everything with his brother. Especially his mother's kissing hand. So mother raccoon comes up with a way to reassure Chester Raccoon with some extra love he so desperately wants.

I enjoyed this book. The illustrations are beautiful and elaborate. The story was also relatable. Those who are older siblings know the difficulty of having to share everything including the love and attention of your parents. But later learning that the love of a mother or father is never ending and fair.

In a classroom this book can stand as an example of a sibling relationship that the majority of students could relate too. The message that sharing is hard but not hard with love. And also that a mothers love is unquestionable and reassuring.

This story is the sequel to the "Kissing Hand." Chester is worried that his mother doesn't have enough love for him now that he has a baby brother. He is upset when he sees his mother kissing his little brother's hand. His mother reassures him that she will never run out of Kissing Hands. I love the detailed, colorful, illustrations. I would use this story as a read aloud in an early elementary classroom. Children with younger siblings will be able to relate to how Chester is feeling in this story.

[Ten_zillions · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Pocket Full of Kisses explores the feeling of jealousy as the main character grapples with the reality of having a baby brother. The imagery displayed in the book is very sweet and loving as the mother bear reassures her young cub that she loves him just the same. This would be great for young children who are expecting a baby sibling and it helps to reassure children that they are still loved.

[Hannah Holthaus · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great book with a cute story and great illustrations to go with! The story is about a little raccoon who became very jealous of his little baby brother once he was born. He was missing all of the attention that his brother was getting and got very upset when his mother would kiss both of their hands. I can imagine this book getting read in an early elementary classroom and especially at home when a new sibling is brought into the world.

[Day · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved the details in the illustrations in this book. I can see every strand of fur on the raccoon’s back. I liked the details of the trees, bushes, and grass as well. I liked how Mrs. Raccoon doesn’t down play Chester Raccoon’s feelings toward his younger brother, but instead calmly explains how she can love both of her sons.

[Manal Cheikh · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's wonderful story , it's about wise Mom that explain the meaning of love for her kids and explain that the mother's love never end it's like the sun rays.Beautifully illustrated story. Teacher can use this book in class with younger students who are having trouble sharing or even having trouble with missing their parent.

[Amy Buthelezi · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story is great for children who have younger siblings. It teaches children how it is their job as big brothers or sisters to share with their siblings, even with their parents. It shows children how they are special to their parents, just as their siblings. This story contains a variety of vocabulary words, and emphasizes emotions and dialogue.

Fiction
Middle Grades (4-6)
This is a great story, and I related to it easily because I have a younger sibling. It is a great way to explain that more than one person can be loved by someone. It could be used to talk about friendship with kids - kids can have more than one friend, and fighting over friends doesn't make sense.

[Anna · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an adorable book! I had no idea there was another book after The Kissing Hand and oh man, just as cute as the first one. Possibly even cuter! The illustrations are so darn cute and detailed. It has such a nice loving story of mother and children love, it's adorable. I highly recommend it. New favorite.

[E & E’s Mama · Rating 3 out of 5]

This would be a good book for an older sibling when they deal with jealousy/feeling upset they have a younger sibling. Elliot’s an only child so he can’t relate to the raccoon who is angry he has a new brother. The mom’s explains she has enough kisses for both of them, which is sweet, but if just wasn’t one we returned to often.

This is a great story for young children, especially those who may have siblings or those who love "The Kissing Hand". This sequel again follows Chester the raccoon and shows the importance of being an older sibling and knowing that you are loved just as much even when your parents give their attention to your sibling.

[Cat · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved the Kissing Hand! I help the kids make their own kissing hand stickers a craft tie-in. This book is just as sweet! Little ones and even older siblings will enjoy this story. Illustrations are wonderful!

This is a cute book about having a new sibling. It encourages the family system of being a big sibling and how it can hold some responsibility. "A Pocket Full of Kisses" is a great sequel that poses a new theme with great pictures.

This is a great book for young children who are going to be big brothers/sisters. good book to deal with tough emotions. Teachers can talk about the importance of family and make a family tree in the class room.

[Sterlande Altidor · Rating 5 out of 5]

That is a beautiful sequel story to the kissing hand. This is a story to teach children about sharing, especially when their parents bring a new baby home. The message in this book is clear; there is enough love to go around. I recommended this book for all parents to read.

[Maddy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great story to read to children who are having a difficult time excepting a new sibling. It is a good way to show children that it is okay to feel sad but that does not mean their parent will love them any less. This story has great illustrations and good vocabulary.

[Marie Arie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful book to help older siblings deal with the needs of their younger siblings. The older racoon is worried his baby brother is taking all his moms love. This book can help children who's families are expecting another child in the home.

[Anita Marlin · Rating 4 out of 5]

The illustrations are beautiful and detailed. It is talking about jealous between the siblings. I will feel many children who have sibling will feel more or less the same thing as Chester and this book may comfort their feeling after listening the story. I prefer to read it individual child.
