At first I thought this book was just your sweet, albeit average story about putting friends before yourself.....but the last illustration just makes me laugh. An elephant in a knitted onezie! It was the most adorable picture ever.

Tad Hills illustrates the Rocket Learns to Read books and now having a mouse and an elephant through his eyes was such fun. And a sweet story of friendship and love what else do you want at Christmastime

This book is for primary aged students. This is another story in the Rocket series and already and writing, where this story tells about how Rocket is collecting new words in order to write a story of his own! This book goes into the pieces of language is a great pairing for a beginning writing or storytelling lesson (3rd grade-ish?).

This book is for primary level students. This picture book depicts a dog named Rocket and his friend, the little yellow bird, and Rocket's journey to read and enjoy stories found in books. Though he may have been reluctant to learn at first, his love for stories told by the little bird encouraged him to learn to read them for himself.
This book would be incredibly helpful for parents to read to children who may be reluctant or struggling to learn to read. It gives them encouragement to try, as they will want to have the same excitement for stories as Rocket does.… (mere)
