After a while they start to seem Biblical. Interesting because while I don’t think the creator meant them to, the hands look far more raccoony. Though I suspect that if certain little boys got ahold of these cookies they would redub them something along the lines of “bloody hand cookies”, so consider it as a possible Halloween entertainment nosh as well. There is a Kissing Hand cookie recipe out there.These include (but are not limited to) A Pocket Full of Kisses, A Kiss Goodbye, Chester Raccoon and The Big Bad Bully, Chester’s Change of Heart, Chester the Brave, and Chester Raccoon and the Acorn Full of Memories. Raccoon shares a family secret called the Kissing Hand to give him the reassurance of her love any time his world feels a little scary. Equally unsurprising is the fact that the book has launched many a sequel. Not surprisingly, it’s a reading list staple for many. It simply fulfills its purpose in life and continues onward after that. However, while books like Love You Forever and others that may or may not appear on this list are reviled long and loud, The Kissing Hand seems to raise no ire.
This title falls dangerously close to the realm of the sentimental picture book. As is written in the foreword, THE KISSING HAND is 'a story for any child who confronts a difficult situation.' First days of school are certainly scary for most kids, and this book is a perfect tool for addressing their fears.
