About this listen
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY School Library Journal • Publishers Weekly
"A perfect choice to inspire new readers and writers." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Rocket loves books and he wants to make his own, but he can't think of a story. Encouraged by the little yellow bird to look closely at the world around him for inspiration, Rocket sets out on a journey. Along the way he discovers small details that he has never noticed before, a timid baby owl who becomes his friend, and an idea for a story.
Tad Hills, the creator of the beloved Duck & Goose series delivers another heartwarming story, making this a favorite for story time.
Don’t miss the animated movie based on the bestselling Rocket books—coming soon to PBS!
