(3) K-3 A yellow bird taught Rocket to read (How Rocket Learned to Read), and now the little black-and-white dog wants to write a story. Inspired by his new owl friend, Rocket carefully crafts a story until it's ready to share. Textured oil-paint and colored-pencil illustrations enhance the engaging narrative; a mix of spot art and full-page illustrations adds variety.
