Tad Hills Hardcover, 40 pages; 2010
Members' Price (HL7582): $15.29

  Rocket is an adorable pup whose life consists of playing and napping, until he meets a little yellow bird who declares herself his teacher. His lessons begin with the "wondrous, mighty, gorgeous alphabet," and soon he learns to sound out words one letter at a time, and eventually to read all on his own! When his teacher flies south for the winter, Rocket practices his new skills everywhere he can--and he greets her springtime return with a wagging tail, eager to begin new stories. With a lively narrative and irresistible illustrations, How Rocket Learned to Read engages young readers as it encourages them to hone their skills. We're also offering the darling Rocket Plush Doll (about 9" tall; 100% polyester) as a cuddly story-time companion. For ages 3 to 7. (AG)
