Rocket Writes a Story

by Tad Hills

Rocket, a cute dog, loves words so much that he starts to collect them and hang them on a tree. When the words start to add up, Rocket decides to use them to write a story about an owl he sees in the trees. With the guidance of his teacher, a wise little bird, Rocket edits his story little by little, and makes a new owl friend in the process (age 4).
