What does Dexter love most about nature?

I love that every night the frogs in the creek are croaking, I love that I can hear cicadas every morning. I love exploring in the back of the woods and building shelters to watch the wild animals. I love to climb high trees in the forest and watch the forest.


What is Dexter's favorite animal—and why?

My favorite animal is a fox. They are my favorite animal because they are very fast, sneaky and sly. They have very good eye sight and hearing. I like that they only eat small animals and sometimes berries. When they eat small animals, they don’t harm bigger animals. Then the bigger animals can do their jobs.


What is Dexter's favorite outdoor activity?

My favorite outdoor activity is running around outside like a wild caveman and climbing trees like a monkey. I like to sharpen sticks on bricks to make sharp tools. I like to build shelters for myself outside.
