Book Reviews


The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn- This is a tale of a raccoon who is scared of going to school, so his mother kisses his hand and reassures him that her kiss will always be with him. This wonderful story can be used with any child that is scared to leave his/her guardians. The illustrations are gorgeous, and it even comes with stickers that can be used to give children kissing hands.

The Peace Book by Todd Parr- A simple book that talks about different things that peace is. For example, “Peace is everyone having a home.” I really like this book because it lightly touches upon many issues, and it embraces diversity. It is a great book for young readers.


Sideways Stories From Wayside School by Louis Sachar and Julie Brinckloe- This entertaining chapter book depicts several wacky things that go on at Wayside school. It is a very funny read and is one that your older child will love.

The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Louis- This is a series of adventure stories that take place in a made-up world called Narnia. The stories are sure to grab your child’s attention because they are full of action and suspense. They are great for bedtime stories. If your child is interested in the movies these are great books to get them into reading.
