Summary: "The Rocket Book" by Peter Newell is a whimsical children's picture book published in the early 20th century.

The book's playful tone and engaging illustrations make it a delightful read for young audiences. The story begins with Fritz, a curious child who discovers a concealed rocket in his basement and lights it, triggering a series of comic misadventures as the rocket soars through each floor of the building. As it ascends, it creates havoc in the lives of the apartment's inhabitants—ranging from startled grandparents to frightened pets.
