Description
A family has nothing nice to say about the people next door and are at first glad when they see the For Sale sign on their house, but then they begin to realize what good neighbors they have been.
Quick Summary
This heartwarming story turns the old saying "never judge a book by its cover" into a delightful neighborhood adventure that proves sometimes the people we think we don't like end up being the best friends we could ever have. Kids will giggle at how the family's assumptions get turned upside down and feel proud watching them learn that being a good neighbor matters more than having a fancy lawn or perfect exterior. If your kid loves stories about unexpected friendships and kindness like "Each Kindness" by Chloe Perkins, they'll absolutely adore this charming tale of mistaken first impressions. Perfect for kindergarten through third graders, this quick read with an AR Level of 3.4 makes ideal bedtime reading or classroom discussion material for young readers.
