로켓은 나뭇잎을 쫓아다니고 나무줄기를 씹는 것을 좋아하는 평범한 강아지입니다. 그런데 어느 가을날, 로켓이 낮잠을 자려고 누운 곳이 하필이면 작은 노란새가 새로 문을 연 야외학교였습니다. 졸지에 노란새의 제자가 된 로켓... 처음에는 글자를 배우는 것을 거부하고 덤불 속에서 낮잠이나 자려고 했지만, 노란새가 읽어주는 책의 스토리에 귀를 기울이다 그만 이야기에 푹 빠져 버리고 말았습니다. 결국은 알파벳과 글자를 배우기로 하고 노란새에게서 글자들을 하나씩 배워나갑니다만, 추운 겨울이 오는 바람에 잠시 배우는 것을 중단하지요. 그리고 겨울 내내 로켓은 노란새에게서 배운 알파벳을 이용해서 영어 단어들을 하나씩하나씩 연습하면서 봄이 오기를 기다립니다. 봄이 되자 노란새가 다시 돌아 오고...

School Library Journal
An endearing white dog with black spots loves chasing leaves and chewing sticks. He also loves napping under his favorite tree. Then his sleep is interrupted one spring day by a tiny yellow bird that designates him her first student. Rocket wants no part of her lessons, but the bird is determined to teach him to read. She returns each day, hangs an alphabet banner from the trees, and gushes, Ah, the wondrous, mighty, gorgeous alphabet. Then she begins to read a story, stopping at an enticing part. Overcome by curiosity to hear more, Rocket eventually enters into the bird's lessons, and the two have a grand time using the mighty, gorgeous alphabet to spell out all the things in Rocket's world. The bird leaves as winter approaches, but Rocket continues practicing, spelling everything in sight. And when Bird returns the following spring, a tail-wagging, eager-to-read student greets her with joy. The illustrations, rendered in oil and colored pencil, offer full pages, spreads, and oval vignettes. They depict Rocket in all his various moods, from diagonal brows raised in displeasure to delight at his teacher's return. Adults will love the bird's enthusiasm, her use of stories, and her ability to associate lessons with Rocket's everyday life to win over her reluctant pupil. Youngsters will find this addition to Hills's cast of adorable animal characters simply irresistible.


Booklist
Who says you can't teach a young dog new words? Looking a bit like Gene Zion's lovable Harry, Rocket is minding his own business one fall morning when a little yellow bird gets him hooked on a story she is reading aloud. She proceeds to give him leisurely lessons in the alphabet before flying away for the winter. He practices all season long, spelling out words in the snow and in the mud. Hills, best known for his Duck and Goose series, offers up an appealing picture of the learning-to-read process: the bird is an enthusiastic instructor, teaching Rocket to love the sounds and meanings of words. Hills' oil-paint and colored-pencil illustrations nicely capture both the sweetness of pupil and tutor and the prettiness of the changing seasons. When the little yellow bird returns at last, the two of them settle down to read books together, and it's clear that a wonderful adventure has begun for Rocket.


CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"A perfect picture book for kids 3-7."


THE BOSTON GLOBE
"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."


KIRKUS REVIEWS
"Hills’s gentle, sweet tale is a paean to the joy of reading and the teachers that inspire it."


PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"With characters as memorable as those in Hills’s Duck and Goose series, this good-natured story shows readers how Rocket, a spotted puppy, becomes a beginning reader, thanks to a little yellow bird."
