Tad Hills is the author and illustrator of the New York Times bestselling picture books Duck & Goose and Duck, Duck, Goose. He has created four board books featuring the same characters: What's Up, Duck?, an ALA Notable Book; Duck and Goose, 1, 2, 3; Duck & Goose, How Are You Feeling?; and Duck and Goose Find a Pumpkin. He is also the illustrator of Waking Up Wendell, by April Stevens; My Fuzzy Friends; and Knock, Knock, Who's There? Tad Hills lives in Brooklyn with his wife, their two children, and a dog named Rocket who has not (yet) learned how to read!
"With his new book, How Rocket Learned to Read, Tad Hills…brings a sweet but not saccharine touch to a common struggle of childhood."
--The New York Times
"With characters as memorable as those in Hills’s Duck and Goose series, this good-natured story shows readers how Rocket, a spotted puppy, becomes a beginning reader, thanks to a little yellow bird. Hills uses expressive oil and colored pencil spot art (and a subtle sense of humor) to engage readers as Rocket becomes the bird’s pupil; the enthusiastic teacher wisely hooks Rocket on stories before interesting him in “the wondrous, mighty, gorgeous alphabet.... Where it all begins.” The illustrations emphasize Rocket’s responsiveness and wide-eyed curiosity as he learns letters (the bird holds up a worm while pointing to W) and progresses from there. “Together they sang out the sounds that each letter makes and spelled the sounds they heard around them.” If the details of Rocket’s transition can be nebulous (“Soon they were spelling words”) Hills still emphasizes the need for practice (“Rocket thought about the bird’s sweet chirp while he sounded out words like D-I-G and W-I-N-D and C-O-L-D”). The amiable characters and gentle text--as well as an alphabet banner the bird strings up--make this a decent primer for humans, too."

這本不同於其他的小鵝們的故事開本,是大開本精裝的,因為特彆喜歡這個係列,看到有新書就收瞭,這本字多,不適閤低幼,可以等寶寶稍大些再收,但故事一樣精彩,改天有空曬單!

評分不錯的書,受益匪淺,京東加油,這套是真的好超值呀
評分開學季買瞭好多的書!搬不動瞭已經!
評分這一係列的繪本都非常漂亮,色彩鮮艷明亮,我和寶寶都很喜歡!從最簡單的每頁一個單詞,比如同一係列的what's up,duck? 到這本每頁兩三行文字,我覺得非常好。就是價格有點小貴。不過進口書嘛,質量又好,我還是覺得挺值的。
評分死貴,扣一星。為瞭京東的豆,我也是很拼瞭。一般的貨品都不說瞭,非常好的貨和非常令人不悅的貨見前句。
評分超大一本。畫風漂亮。很給力的兒童讀物
