CHARACTER OF THE WEEK - Chester Raccoon from The Kissing Hand

 

Here at Fragile Earth Stuffed Animals, we sent out this summer's first Chester Raccoon from the fantastic book The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn. Last year, we could barely keep him in stock in July & August, as teachers got their classrooms ready for the start of a new school year. I wonder, will this year be the same?

The Kissing Hand tells the story of a young raccoon named Chester who would prefer to stay at home with his mother than go to school. But when she shows him how she can make school seem as cozy as home. There are tons of great ideas on the web to do with this book. Which is your favorite?
