PINKY and REX and the New Neighbors By James Howe

Mrs. Morgan, Pinky and Rex’s elderly friend is moving from the neighborhood. These two friends were very sad because Mrs. Morgan would always give them cookies and lemonade. Although Pinky and Rex was sad that Mrs. Morgan had moved, they were happy to know that Mrs. Morgan enjoyed her new home and planed on visiting her. On the other hand, Pinky was nervous that Rex would forget about him when the new neighbor came. In the end a younger girl who was the same age as Amanda moved in thus, Pinky and Rex stated best friends. I believe that this book sent the message that whenever one door closes another one opens. Throughout life, children will face many changes and be presented with many opportunities. I believe it is important that educators be role models and maintain a positive outlook while working.
