Review

This Rocket book is in a beginner reader format with the little yellow bird teaching Rocket new words. Rocket finds items, picks them up, drops them, and gets another item, until he finds a red boot and does not want to drop it. The word for each item is named, the word is on a card, and placed on the word tree. Rocket finally drops the boot for a book. This is written with short sentences, repetitive text, large font, plenty of white space, and colorful illustrations that go well with the text for clues to the words. A good addition to a beginner reader collection.

Overall Book Score: good
