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."

读书知识多。 爱读书的人,往往两个地方是多见的。一是在读书馆、二是在书店。多读书的人,拥有的知识也同样的多;这时候就觉得学的很少,学海无涯。“知识就是力量”这是一位伟人曾讲过的。多读书,多有知识,同时就有力量、财富。在这个知识竞争激烈的时代,没有文化绝对是不行的。知识的卓越也将为个人带来意想不到的收入。为什么有些人要读博士、硕士,不就是为了要自己有着很好的收入嘛,这些都是实在话。一家公司用一个人,当然是学历偏高的人先被看好。所以,我们要多读书,读好书。
评分简单有趣低幼的纸板,价格公道
评分英文原版好棒!孩子很喜欢
评分终于趁着618把这套收齐了,很不错,这本大开本有点难
评分以为是纸板书,没想到是普通书,内容十分好,文字很多,但是很有意义。
评分小鸭和小鹅的书买了很多了,画面精美,颜色鲜艳
评分这本卖给三岁的孩子,很喜欢这种画风,简单不俗气。关键划算,和白送一样。
评分看过该系列的其他书后,喜欢这个绘画风格,所以又给宝宝买了这本。图非常优美,文字对一两岁的宝宝来说还是有点难,毕竟是英文,我都有几个不认识的单词。以后宝宝大一点了再给他看。适合一岁到两岁的宝宝的,有同一系列的 what's up,duck? 等,我买的是木板书,好像京东上面只有平装的。
评分囤货,买了好多次了,还会再来
