The Rocket Book
When Fritz, the Janitor’s bad kid,
Went snooping in the basement,
He found a rocket snugly hid
Beneath the window casement.
He struck a match with one fell swoop;
Then, on the concrete kneeling,
He lit the rocket and—she—oop!
It shot up through the ceiling.
The Rocket Book, published in 1912, is a wonderful little tale of a naughty Janitor’s boy and the rocket he launched through several stories of apartments.
The pictures are hilarious, and the story is a cute little rhyme that preschoolers and younger children are sure to enjoy.
