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.

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.

"Let's Move Together" captures all the emotions around moving and fitting in once a child gets there. Schubeck writes honestly about all the feelings we can have surrounding a move from one home to the next. This book allows parents to manage the moving process along with their youngsters. What a great way to reconnect with our children! Clanuwat's illustrations are clean and refreshing--They come to life!

Lets Move Together is a reader-friendly, beautifully illustrated book that answers children's questions and alleviates their concerns about moving. Tom Turtle offers sound advice and practical tips before, during and after the move. Especially recommended for military families who are constantly "on the go".

After reading this book, I realized as an adult when I looked at moving it generally included just the practical and responsible aspects of moving . It would be normal for me to block or ignore the "child" in me,(and then wonder why I din't feel so good) that also had thoughts, fears and a bevy of other emotions that come with the process of moving. "Let's Move Together", put me back in touch with those emotions and then provided me with a concrete, safe and even fun ways to look at them and "move" on. A great book for anyone from 3 to 103.

"Healthy Kids Magazine" distributed to Pediatricians in the United States recommends 'Let's Move Together' for children and families who are moving in the October/November issue. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies moving as one of life's most stressful events for children. 'Let's Move Together' provides the discussion, tips, and coping suggestions for a successful move.

My teacher Sophia, my younger brother Sean and I shared the book. We are ages 13 and 10. We love the colors and animals in the book. We hope if there is going to be an English and Chinese press, maybe Tom Turtle's good friends can move with him! Thank You

The well illustrated characters guide the young readers in understanding the feelings, thoughts and actions involved in making a transition. This book is a valuable resource for those families in careers that keep them on the move.

As a parent of a toddler, we are challenged to teach many new skills. "Let's Move Together," provides lots of suggestions for just that. This is a valuable book to refer to in time of transition. The beautiful pictures and concise words are great for children to relate to.
