So as Brooklyn starts to learn her letters and then read, and eventually drawing, it will be so fun to start collecting pictures and creative items from her and Gabriel not far behind. Mothers and grandmothers love to collect things their children/grandchildren make, I will be no different. My home will be decorated with cute drawings and colored pictures….. Masterpieces I am sure. I will probably keep records of every interesting and witty thing they will ever say. Creativity can blossom through reading!

So, this week, I received this book in the mail – How Rocket Learned to Read –It is so cute, I can’t wait to introduce Brooklyn and Gabriel to this delightful tale.
“An endearing white dog with black spots loves chasing leaves and chewing sticks. He also loves napping under his favorite tree. Then his sleep is interrupted one spring day by a tiny yellow bird that designates him her first student. Rocket wants no part of her lessons, but the bird is determined to teach him to read. She returns each day, hangs an alphabet banner from the trees, and gushes, Ah, the wondrous, mighty, gorgeous alphabet. Then she begins to read a story, stopping at an enticing part. Overcome by curiosity to hear more, Rocket eventually enters into the bird's lessons, and the two have a grand time using the mighty, gorgeous alphabet to spell out all the things in Rocket's world. The bird leaves as winter approaches, but Rocket continues practicing, spelling everything in sight. And when Bird returns the following spring, a tail-wagging, eager-to-read student greets her with joy” (borrowed review from Amazon)
