 Wonderful for kids and parents August 27, 2007
Julie G. Wells (Springfield, VA)
My sons and I checked this out from the library. My husband has to travel at least one week out of each month and it is hard on us. This book was perfect! My sons (ages 4 1/2 and 3) each made a "magic box" this weekend for their dad to take with him on his trip this week and my husband made a box for each of the boys to have while he is away. I plan to give them their boxes when they are having a particularly difficult moment during his time away. What a wonderful book!
 A bit too difficult for young children April 3, 2007

Though the book is well intentioned and provides good ideas of what to do when a parent is away, the text is lengthy and a bit difficult for young children.

"The Magic Box: When Parents Can't Be There To Tuck You In," by Marty Sederman and Seymour Epstein (Magination Press/American Psychological Association, 2003, 32 pages. Ages: 3-7. Paperback,...) When children are faced with a parent's overnight absence, they can be frightened, angry or unhappy. Here's book that shows how families can cope with absences and even have fun with them. It tells the story of Casey, whose father announces he has to leave town for work again. "Oh no! Don't go!" Casey pleads. Dad explains that although he misses Casey, he simply has to travel sometimes for work. Then he challenges Casey to plan what the two can do together when he's gone. The next day, Mom helps Casey locate where Dad is on a map, and, when he's particularly blue, she surprises Casey with a glittery magic box Dad left for him. The box is filled with hugs and kisses and new markers, the note says. Casey feels much better and decides to make a surprise for Daddy, too. "The Magic Box" includes a note to parents by clinical psychologist Ann Rasmussen, who explains how temporary absences can actually be positive learning experiences when children find ways to plan for the absence, stay connected to the traveling parent and look forward to the reunion. Such skills, she says, will help kids later in life. Although the traveling parent in "The Magic Box" is the father, this book may also help families where the mother must be out of town at times for work. ---Sonja Meyer...
keeping connected February 14, 2003
In this busy and fast paced world we live in, it is becoming more difficult to keep family members connected. It is especially difficult if a parent has a job which requires a lot of traveling. Children often do not realize why a parent has to leave so often. This book provides a wonderful way for traveling parents to stay connected to the daily lives of their children. It also gives the child the knowledge that even when dad is not at home he is thinking of him.
