"This book shows what a little kindness does for someone new to the neighborhood. This book also has very cute illustrations." ~Midge

"I came across this book at a time we really needed it! It is written in such a way that helps a child understand moving away from their home, but also teaches them that it can also be exciting starting fresh! Thank you again! I will be looking for your name!!!" ~J.Rapson

I thought that this was a very good ebook for young kids to read and learn from and how to go about making new friends.
Beautiful illustrations as well. Therefore I would love to give this ebook five stars and recommend this especially for kids ages 3-7 &+ who find themselves in the same position as Dexter did and has shown the kids how to go about fining new friends. I received this ebook for free and in return, here is my honest review.

Dexter is dismayed to find that hedgehogs have moved into his home, and they won’t allow him to come back inside. Dexter searches the forest for a new home. The next day, Dexter finds a cute house with a fence around it and decides to buy it. The rabbit still feels sad and lonely until the squirrels tell another rabbit named Ben that someone new has moved into the neighborhood. Ben welcomes Dexter with flowers and invites Ben to visit him for dinner. Meanwhile Ben had convinced his friends, James and Molly to bring gifts to share with Dexter. Dexter learns how his new neighbors share many of his interests and he is now happy and secure in his new home.
This book teaches children about having empathy and that something that might seem scary like moving may turn out to be a good thing. The illustrations are lovely and appropriate the target audience.

I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!! I came across this book at a time we really needed it! Our landlord evicted us to turn our house into a storage building. My 2 1/2 year old is very upset with the packing and everyone on edge. He can't understand the concept of moving. This book was a God-send! It is written in such a way that helps a child understand moving away from their home, but also teaches them that it can also be exciting starting fresh! Thank you again! I will be looking for your name!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Teach your kid to run away from trouble.

The book teaches kids to run away from trouble in hope for a better place and new beginning. The story tells about a rabbit that has been kicked out of his own house by a couple of squatters. The rabbit is not fighting or calling for help; instead, he BUYS a new house and meets new vegetable loving friends. The end. The new friends of Dexter do not offer any help in getting his old property back, or to teach bad guys a lesson. The old life is totally suppressed.
The book utilizes good quality pictures so it is easy to overlook the strange message of the author.

Dexter is soooooo adorable. What a cute, clever and simple way to teach children the value of sharing. And with three rabbits (kids) of her own Debbie is obviously an authority on rabbit-behavior. Oh, oh, and “Dexter” had me rolling and guffawing when—in the beginning of the tale—(spoiler alert) the little lamb cranked-off a one-armed, upside-down push-up. That was hilarious. The illustrations are vivid and perfect for the tale. “Dexter” is a quick-read so, you can flip-it-thru in one-go. Niiiiiice!

I bought your book Dexter's New Home to read to the little 4 year old girl I babysit. I was impressed with how you presented the new home Dexter found in a neighborhood with such generous characters in it. My little girl likes for me to read it to her at nap time every day.
