K-3Step into Reading series.
Sweet dog Rocket returns, along with a cast of softly sold cuties. Rocket and his bird friend search for new words for their word tree (Drop It); Rocket selects "100 special things" for the hundredth day of school--but squirrel Bella can't resist eating a few items (100th Day). Hills's charming colored-pencil and acrylic-paint illustrations pair nicely with the absorbing easy-to-read texts. Review covers these titles: Drop It, Rocket! and Rocket's 100th Day of School.
