My husband and I just moved from Florida to Arizona with our five children. The children LOVED this book--and we got some helpful hints as well! Thank you Ms. Davis for making our move so much smoother!

My 8-year-old daughter received this book as a gift when we moved cross-country. She was very nervous about the move, but this book helped her tremendously. It helped make moving an adventure. I have since recommended this book to other parents. It is well written and full of helpful advice.

I am the wife of a Marine. Our family moves every three to four years. Thank goodness this book was written. I encourage any military family to buy this book!

This book is divided into three sections - before the move, during the move, and after the move. Each section contains practical advice for children from packing to things to do on the way to making new friends. The book's interactive design will help children personalize it.

I found The Moving Book to be straightforward, well organized, comprehensive and very informative. As a gift, I've already given 2 copies of the book to my childrens playmates. They are quickly filling up the pages with past life experiences, present anxieties and plans for the future. This living map is precisely the guide and transitional tool essential for any move. This book should be required for any pre-school or grade school student who is about to move. I can only hope that if or when the adult version comes out I'll be the first in line.

My family just experienced a difficult cross-country move. My two boys (ages 7 and 9) each had their own copy of this book (going away gifts from a neighbor) and each really made it his own. I think it played a large part in helping them cope with our move, helping them to understand what was going on and what to expect. I highly recommend it.

This book would be very good for kids who are able to read and write independently and fluently - perhaps 8 and up. If you have a lot of time on your hands, you could use it with kids as young as 5 but you'll have to read and write in it for them.

This book was just what my son needed. We just found out we're moving to Brussels and he needed some words to express how he was feeling about it. We sat down and literally read one or two pages and he said, "Mom, that's just how I'm feeling." That was the entire reason I bought this book.

This tool, although basic, is a good way to support kids in the transition of a move.

I have purchased this book several times for different friends that have moved. They have all seemed to like and said it was a big help in helping their children adjust to their move. I will purchase this everytime we have a friend move.
