review 1: I was intrigued to see how everything would play out and I enjoyed the banter between the bird and the dog. I gave it three stars because my boy became very anxious about finishing the book. Looking back, the pace seemed rather slow and the words could have probably been cut in half. I write this to a book that is all about how a dog learns to read. I know, I know. More words = more opportunities to practice. I just thought the story could have been shortened and still accomplished the same wit and humor the author intended.
review 2: Author: Tad HillsIllustration: Tad HillsTitle: How Rocket Learned to ReadPublisher: Schwartz & Wade BooksCopyright: 2010Genre: Picture BookGrade Level/ Age: 5 – 7Lexile: AD600LRating: 5Summary/Reason for Rating: This is a story ... moreabout a dog named Rocket who learns to read from a little yellow bird. I rate this book with a 5 because of the feeling I felt while reading this book and looking at the pictures. The dog and the little yellow bird are adorable and it’s sweet how they become friends; it reminds me of Owl and Winnie the Pooh. The pictures are large enough to read in front of a group. The abstractness in the background images, including the bushes, trees, leaves, and land, all add to the tone and setting of the book. The story in and of its is really cute and it makes me want to read to my nieces. less
