How Rocket Learned to Read: A Children's Book Review


I LOVE this book and so does Monkey! It is absolutely adorable! We have read it several times in a row at Monkey's request. 

The pictures are very bright and colorful and hold both Monkey and Goose's attention throughout the story. It's an easy read and it is easy to add in different voices for the two characters to make it more interesting to the boys without much difficulty on my part.

But what I love the most is that it teaches that reading is FUN! That you can go anywhere in a book and experience different things through your imagination just by learning how to read! What more could a homeschool mom ask for! It explains that each letter has a different sound and that those sounds make up words. It also has Rocket spell out words so I'm able to say the letters to the word spelled out and then say the words. This is will be helpful in teaching Monkey that the letters in words actually mean something. 

Something fun: When ever we reach the page where the little yellow bird hangs up her alphabet banner Monkey asks if he can sing the ABC song. It is just so cute! I'm so happy that I found this book and I think I will be looking into getting some of Tad Hills others publishing's since I love this one so much!


This book review was done personally from me and how I feel about the book. I did not receive anything for this post.

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I d
