No one ever loved books more than Rocket! And thanks to his teacher, the little yellow bird, Rocket had learned to read them himself.

He loved their smell.
He loved their pictures.
He loved their words.
He loved their descriptions.
Characters in the books became his friends.
Their problems became his problems.

Now, Rocket was ready to write his own story. The little yellow bird suggested that he fetch some new words, together they hung them on a splendid word tree. (Nouns! Prepositions! And conjunctions! But Rocket would learn about this in a later lesson.)

Next, the little bird suggested that Rocket go for a walk to find inspiration for his story. What interesting things do you think he found? Which of his senses invited him to investigate further? What advice did his teacher offer as he wrote? Who became his audience?

Rocket Writes a Story is the perfect book for introducing story writing in kindergarten and first grade!
