A New York Times bestseller
A 2010 Parents' Choice Silver Award An Autumn 2010 Children's Indie Next Pick"A perfect picture book for kids 3-7." —CHICAGO SUN-TIMES, September 12, 2010
"A picture book all about the joys of reading could easily turn preachy and dull. But "How Rocket Learned to Read'' defies gravity. Rocket is lovable, the little feathered teacher adorable. Hills tells his sprightly story as needed, not one word more or less. His pictures flow with soft color and movement. Hills makes this a story of friendship. It may persuade tentative kindergarteners that school is worth a try; teachers and librarians will love it." —THE BOSTON GLOBE, October 3, 2010
