Lexi the Coonhound Finds a New Home! by Meg Martin is a heartwarming children's book that makes children aware of the struggles faced by a rescue dog finding its place in a new home. Lexi the Coonhound is given a second chance when she is adopted from the shelter. Initially, she struggles with her new surroundings and family. There is an internal conflict and fear in Lexi, delicately captured by Meg Martin. This fear and conflict is a common experience with many rescue dogs. After some time goes by, Lexi learns that she is safe and cared for. Through kindness and love from her family, she learns to trust them and open her heart. This is touching and illustrates how important patience and compassion are when dealing with a rescue animal.

Lexi the Coonhound Finds a New Home! by Meg Martin hit close to home. I have two rescue dogs, and being aware of the transition period of such an animal is an important lesson any family needs to learn about rescue animals. The theme of understanding and empathy when rescuing an animal is illustrated throughout the book. Patience and love bring out the best in these animals, and when you have rescued a dog, you will forever have a companion who loves you unconditionally. The illustrations are vibrant and expressive, capturing the raw emotion and emotional depth of all the characters. Lexi the Coonhound Finds a New Home! was a delightful read, an meaningful children's book that should be read by anyone who is considering adopting a rescue dog.
