The Rocket Book (Peter Newell
Childrens Books) by Peter Newell
The "Hole" Story
Long before Richard Scarry or Dr. Seuss, an American artist delighted a
generation of children and their parents with hilarious, topsy-turvy
illustrations and slightly subversive tales told in rhyme. This was illustrator/
author Peter Newell. Working over eighty years ago, Newell remains as
profoundly enjoyable-and incredibly popular-as ever. Tuttle is proud to be
reissuing his three classic works, sure to delight the young and old alike.
The Rocket Book Meet Algernon Bracket and Orlando Pease. Find out
how a rocket launched from the basement floor of an apartment building is
sure to interrupt a persons day.
Personal Review: The Rocket Book (Peter Newell Childrens
Books) by Peter Newell
I read this book to my children when they were small in 1985. We had
checked it out from the public library. I laughed so hard at not only the
story, but the expressions on the apartment
dwellers faces as the rocket continued to burst

its' way up through their apartments on its' trip
out the top of the building! I have been searching for my own copy ever
since, and am
excited to have found it at Amazon.com. It will
be a welcome addition to my own library, and I will certainly be sharing it
later with my three little
grand-daughters. I'm already laughing in anticipation of its arrival in the
mail!
