ROCKET WRITES A STORY is an adorable tale of a dog who loves books so much he wants to write a story of his own. The book teaches about brainstorming words and ideas, writers block and finding inspiration for writing. It would make an excellent book to read to a class and have them write about what inspires them using some of the techniques that Rocket used in the book. ( )

A little bird helps Rocket look at the world around him for inspiration on writing a story.

This is a great follow up form the first story when Rocket learned how to read. It shows the language process and could work really well in a young classroom. You could utilize this book second and talk to your class all about how Rocket finds different words all around him. The theme for this story could be friendship because while learning how to write, Rocket makes a brand new friend with the main character in his story. ( )

Great book to get children excited to write their own stories. ( )
