(3) K-3 Rocket likes to nap after playing. One day a little yellow bird disturbs the pup's slumber, insisting she's Rocket's reading teacher. He dismisses the notion at first, but eventually he begins to learn. When the weather turns cold, Rocket must continue practicing--by himself--until his teacher returns in springtime. Vibrant oil-paint and colored-pencil illustrations bring the story to life.
