Chester's Way Kindle Edition

by Kevin Henkes (Author, Illustrator) Format: Kindle Edition

344 ratings

“I like croquet and peanut butter and making my bed.”

There is only one way for Chester to do things—his own way. “You definitely have a mind of your own,” said Chester’s mother. “That’s one way to put it,” said Chester’s father.

Luckily Chester’s best friend, Wilson, likes doing things just the same way as Chester. When they cut their sandwiches, it's always diagonally. When they ride their bikes, they always use hand signals. If Chester is hungry, Wilson is too. They're two of a kind—until indomitable Lilly, who has her own way of doing things, moves into the neighborhood. Because Lilly has her own way of doing things!

Written and illustrated by Kevin Henkes, the nationally bestselling and celebrated creator of Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse, Kitten's First Full Moon, and Chrysanthemum, Chester's Way is a classic picture book about friendship for kids ages 3-7. With sweet good humor and charming pictures, the book's themes of making new friends, accepting others, and trying new things resonate when curled up with a parent or at story time.

Review

"Children will make Chester's Way their own." -- School Library Journal

"The virtues of variety, experimentation, and friendship are deftly handled in the amusing, believable story." -- The Horn Book --This text refers to the library edition.

From the Back Cover

Chester and Wilson are set in their ways--until Lilly moves to the neighborhood. "Henkes's vision of friendship captures the essence of the childlike...every sentence is either downright funny or dense with playful, deadpan humor....Behind each book is a wide-open heart...that makes all of Henkes's books--and especially this one--of special value to children."--Publishers Weekly. --This text refers to the library edition.

how do you make friends in today's wild world???

our 6-year old saw this read on Storyline Online and it was an immediate "must have"! From that experience he even has searched out some American Sign Language along with other country's versions too. But better has been how he has shared the ideas of being very particular and yet, once you have a friend, you automatically begin to explore new ideas and new ways of doing things, Our 6-year old has even carried the themes from Chester's Way into his relationship with his 3-year old little brother and become more accepting of totally different approaches to life the two of them share. Much Fun and wonderful to see both our boys reflect on their own particulars ways of doing things with new eyes, new ears.

Great "friends" book

Reviewed in the United States on 10 May 2020

Every once in a while you discover an author who has been publishing books for decades. That's the case here. I'm sorry I only just discovered him recently. This is a sweet, easy reading book for early readers. Great to read alone or as a bedtime story. Charming illustrations add to the fun. The book touches on themes of making new friends, accepting others and trying new things. Also good humor throughout. I look forward to reading more from Kevin.

My daughter's favorite book

Reviewed in the United States on 15 March 2019

My daughter asked me to buy her this book because she had read it at school and this was her favorite. So how could I say no to that! My daughter likes me to read to her so when I read this to her, I loved it too. Actually really loved it. As an aside and speaking as someone who recognized more than a little Chester in me, I also recognized that Lilly is the child I wanted to be all those many years ago. I think this story celebrates the greatness of childhood but is also a lesson for adults. What fun stepping out of our comfort zones can be.
