Beschreibung des Verlags
"Are we almost there?" Chester Raccoon asked his mother. Chester is excited about going to his very first sleepover. After his mother drops him off at Pepper Opossum's house with a Kissing Hand in his palm, Chester and his animal friends have a long day of playing games and eating snacks. But when the animals decide to bed down, Chester can't go to sleep. While his Kissing Hand has kept him from getting scared, he isn't in his own bedroom, and he misses his family. When Chester returns home, Mrs. Raccoon welcomes her little cub and reassures him that his home is always there when he needs it. Young readers will enjoy reading about the party fun and take comfort when Chester finds himself in a situation they can relate to.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Chester Raccoon spends an eventful "overday" with some of his forest friends, but when it comes time to sleep, the "Kissing Hand" tradition he shares with his mother isn't quite enough to soothe him. The story itself is somewhat drawn out (there are three separate gags relating to Sassafras Skunk's tendency to "stinky puff" at inopportune times), and Gibson's artwork can feel posed and static. Chester ultimately leaves the sleepover early and is welcomed home by his mother, a resolution that should reassure timid readers who aren't always as brave or independent as they would like to be. Ages 3 7.
