The Rocket Book

Fritz strikes one match in the basement—and a rocket punches through the ceiling before he can blink. Who could possibly be ready for what comes next?

In a many-storeyed apartment house, breakfast, baths, pets, toys and quiet afternoons are all about to be interrupted by one very fiery visitor. As the rocket races upward, each floor brings a new surprise: catsup explodes, Grandpa Hopp loses his wig, and a burglar gets the fright of his life. Peter Newell’s bouncing rhymes turn ordinary household moments into comic calamity, while the rocket never pauses to explain itself. How much havoc can one little rocket cause before its wild flight is over?
