Biscuit

My two year-old cannot get enough of this book. It has just the right amount of text per page to hold her interest and enough repetition on the theme (getting Biscuit to go to bed) that she gets really tickled when she can tell me what comes next for Biscuit on each page.

This is the first Biscuit book, wherein we meet the small yellow puppy and the-girl-in-purple-sneakers. It is bedtime but Biscuit, like many children, does not want to go to bed. Instead, he wants to play, snack, drink, get hugged, have a blanket, etc.

Many parents will recognize what Biscuit is doing, avoiding sleep and getting more "mommy time." But in the end, what Biscuit winds up with is to be asleep but not in his own bed, but near the little girl.

Adorable illustrations really make this a fun book for children (sometimes I have my daughter read Biscuit's part, "Woof, woof!"). A great book. Read them all.

I started reading this book to my boy when he was 2 months old. The bright pictures of Biscuit's appealing face immediately grabbed his attention. He also loves the "woof" "woof" sounds and the repetitiveness. I'm still reading it to him now at 7 mos and he still loves it more than any other book. If he "accidentally" learns to read, it will be from this book, I'm sure.

I'm way too old for this book, but I worship it. I think Biscuit is adorable--I love dogs--and "Biscuit Finds a Friend" is just as cute. Buy this book!

My daughter is in first grade, and really struggles with reading. So I ordered Biscuit and Bathtime for Biscuit and both books have really helped her. The words are simple and repetitive, she was able to read the books with a little help. The story of Biscuit is interesting to her and the pictures are cute. My daughter likes to read about the little girl trying to get Biscuit to bed, and every time she reads it her reading skills improve.

This book is a five star hands down, I am looking forward to ordering more My First I Can Read books by Alyssa Satin Capucilli.
