Description

"Rocket's Run" is a true tale of a little dog who is inspired each day to match his speed running on the beach to the train on the cliff above. His story reminds us that it isn't necessary to win a race--the joy of running full throttle is its own reward. Children will delight in this spirited and determined little Jack Russell terrier whose adventure is illustrated with love and humor through brilliant photographs taken by his owner. The rugged, sun-washed beauty of the beaches of North San Diego County, California, elegantly captured in John Cunningham's photos, will appeal to adults as well as children.This is the first in a series of books about this spirited little dog entitled, "Rocket's Seaside Adventures."
