Goodreads:  This irresistible sequel to the New York Times bestselling How Rocket Learned to Read is “a perfect choice to inspire new readers and writers,” according to a starred review from Kirkus Reviews.

Rocket loves books and he wants to make his own, but he can’t think of a story. Encouraged by the little yellow bird to look closely at the world around him for inspiration, Rocket sets out on a journey. Along the way he discovers small details that he has never noticed before, a timid baby owl who becomes his friend, and an idea for a story. This book is sure to appeal to kids, parents, teachers, and librarians.

Ope’s Opinion:  I love reading to my granddaughter.  Seeing her be a little sponge is so much fun!  This book kept her attention.  She enjoyed the characters in the book.

                              I did not realize there was a previous book – How Rocket Learned to Read.  I will have to go search that out for her.


Rating:  Four Chairs – I like this book so much I know several Kids I will share it with.
