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. Published in 1912, The Rocket Book tells the story of how a rocket launched from the basement floor of an apartment building and how it interrupts the day. Peter Sheaf Hersey Newell (March 5, 1862 January 15, 1924) was an American artist and writer. He created picture books and illustrated new editions of many children's books. E-216; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
