Rocket is a little dog who finds that a butterfly has landed on his nose. When the butterfly flies off, Rocket chases it. He chases it around fields and rivers until he is led into the forest. At first he is scared, but when he finds the butterfly he realizes he loves the forest.

This is a great early reader. The illustrations are simple and give clues without being distracting. The reading level is about middles of first grade.
