The Kissing Hand Worksheets

by Audrey Penn

Reading Level I · Lexile AD520L · ATOS 2.7

Chester Raccoon stands at the edge of the forest and cries, because he does not want to go to school. His mother, Mrs. Raccoon, tells him he will make new friends and play with new toys, and then she shares a very old family secret called the Kissing Hand. It is a kiss right in the middle of his palm that he can press to his cheek whenever he feels lonely. A gentle first-day-of-school favorite about carrying a parent's love with you.
