These books are very short, very repetitive, very predictable, very simple.
Great early readers.
They could also be great for toddlers and babies, who use that repetition to learn to speak, but they're written so simply that you'll be bored to tears after reading the book more than three times. And
Give them to your kid when they start reading and insist that THEY read the books - not you. Do not fall into the trap of reading them. Ever. If your kid is like the ones I know, they'll fall in love and you'll be trapped.

Review: This book is a good example of realistic fiction because the narrative is a true depiction of life today. Conflicts in this book are situations that people face in real life. In this simple narrative, a small dog, Biscuit, and her owner
Media: This book is a good example of ink and wash because the characters are outlined in ink and filled in with watercolors. The illustrations are simple yet capture the text in a real manner. The colors blend well together.

I enjoyed reading this book. It was cute how Biscuit (a puppy) found a little duckling that was lost. Biscuit and his owner returned the duckling to it's parents in the pond. I liked how the story provided words that could be sound effects. "Woof and Quack." The reader as well as the children can

very cute and appealing to children. The story line is not very deep, but children att this age are so excited to be able to read the words so it still serves a purpose. I would use this books for those children who are recognizing sight words and are able to sound out decodable words. Show Less

How can you fail when you have a puppy helping a lost duckling find its family. You have to love the part when the wet puppy shakes itself dry all over the child! Appropriately cute and well illustrated for a young reader. "Biscuit" is a tough word on its own but this story allows it to become

Biscuit is the first book I read all the way through by myself when I was a child so the series holds close to my heart. This book is about biscuits finding of a new duckling who he becomes friends with. The duckling comes along with biscuit but when they go to the park the duckling joins a family
