The Rocket Book - Peter Newell - Bog

The Rocket Book, by Peter Newell, was published in 1912 by Harper & Brothers. It is a rhyming poem about the mischievous son of a janitor who, in the basement of a 21-story apartment building, lights a rocket which shoots up through the floors of several, causing disruption and surprise to the unsuspecting tenants, (and even to a prowling burgler), who are involved in various domestic activities. It is a delightful book and a true classic of American Children's Literature.
