Trish GELSOMINO ，

Drop it Rocket is a cute book which introduces words， friendship， and some conflict resolution to a new reader。 Rocket goes about finding objects to help put words on the word tree。 The illustrations are colorful and cute。 They display emotion and can help the child to interrupt what is going on even if they are not independent readers。

Rocket has to drop various items that they are hanging on their word tree。 But he doesn't want to drop the boot。 I don't really get it。 Rocket has to drop various items that they are hanging on their word tree。 But he doesn't want to drop the boot。 I don't really get it。 。。。more

Kristina ，

I thought that this was a cute book。 This is a great book for beginner readers to read。 The words are not too hard and do repeat which is what beginner readers need。 This is also an AR book for anyone who might want to know。 I would recommend this book to others。

Noe wanted a short piece before he went to bed。 While geared for the new reader， it is a book with a very simple storyline。 Looking to identify words， Rocket and his friend the little bird go in search of items for their word tree。 Rocket locates a number of items， none of them words， and is forced to drop them。 However， one such item is too good to drop。。。 unless there's a good prize for doing so。 Neo will tackle more books in the series （and something harder） soon， though he did like the pictu Noe wanted a short piece before he went to bed。 While geared for the new reader， it is a book with a very simple storyline。 Looking to identify words， Rocket and his friend the little bird go in search of items for their word tree。 Rocket locates a number of items， none of them words， and is forced to drop them。 However， one such item is too good to drop。。。 unless there's a good prize for doing so。 Neo will tackle more books in the series （and something harder） soon， though he did like the pictures and the easy to identify words in this one。 。。。more

My little guy has started reading books on my kindle and since it is linked to my good reads account it asks for a rating at the end。 I guess I can see his opinion now！ ;）

Amanda ，

It is a amazing book for your children and your dogI love it I totally recommend it I hope u like itMy son loves it and I hope ur daughter/son likes it

Krisz ，

On the first reading， I didn't like this book。Why would a dog give up a perfect boot for a book？ （Dogs don't read。 Nooks likewise。 What good to a nook is a hook cook book？） Then on the second reading I understood that this is a dog who can and likes to read。 Silly， but at least the story makes sense， and my 3-yr-old pointed out that the word OWL is missing from the word tree at the back so I brought my pens and we added it。 On the first reading， I didn't like this book。Why would a dog give up a perfect boot for a book？ （Dogs don't read。 Nooks likewise。 What good to a nook is a hook cook book？） Then on the second reading I understood that this is a dog who can and likes to read。 Silly， but at least the story makes sense， and my 3-yr-old pointed out that the word OWL is missing from the word tree at the back so I brought my pens and we added it。 。。。more

Repetitive words and predictable text make for a good early reading book。

This is a fantastic beginning reader！ Rocket will not drop the boot for anything - until he is offered a book。 Tad Hills knows how to make librarians like his stories！ You can’t go wrong with that。

Lots of repetition and easy words。 Very appropriate for a level 1！

Alina Lu ，

This book is easy

Mary Ann ，

This sweet story follows puppy Rocket collecting things to drop at the base of the word tree。 Short， repetitive phrases with adorably expressive illustrations make this perfect for kids just beginning to read。

Shanna Shanahan ，

Easy and repetitive for a beginning reader。

Nice book for beginners

Claudia ，

Excellent book for a beginner。 It has just the right amount of repetition and then the story moves to start repetition of another set of words。 My kindergartener doesn't get bored but instead feels accomplished。 Excellent book for a beginner。 It has just the right amount of repetition and then the story moves to start repetition of another set of words。 My kindergartener doesn't get bored but instead feels accomplished。 。。。more
