This is a "moving" book for children and adults alike. It is well written and the illustrations are adorable. The charming Tom explores many fears and feelings that we all experience in a move or transition. Highly recommended for children and adults of all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars The child's hidden delimma, August 7, 2000

This review is from: Let's Move Together (Paperback)

Let's Move Together, by Carol Schubeck, is the only book I have ever read written to address the issues of moving that deals with the trauma experienced by children. Most parents assume that children, ages 5-11, move, make friends and adjust. It is often weeks later when they realize that much has changed for their child. Parents begin to realize that the child has had many losses. Lets Move Together addresses those losses. It should be in the hands of every parent before they consider any of the issues of moving.

"Healthy Kids" magazine endorses 'LET'S MOVE TOGETHER' to all pediatricians and families. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifed ''LET'S MOVE TOGETHER' as ideal for children who will move. Moving is traumatic for children ages 4-11 and children need special help. 'LET'S MOVE TOGETHER' provides the reassurance children need.
