Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2?Young readers will be sympathetic to this endearing puppy's nighttime routine: wanting a snack, a drink, a hug and a kiss; hearing a story; getting his blanket and doll; and being tucked in. In fact, just like young audiences, Biscuit wants some of these rituals performed twice. This bedtime drama is simplified by clear, large pictures, oodles of contextual clues, simple sentence structure, and repetitive words and phrases. An appealing choice for just-beginning readers.?Gale W. Sherman, Pocatello Public Library, ID

From Booklist
Gr. K^-1. Part of the My First I Can Read Book series, this very simple book introduces a puppy named Biscuit, who is small and yellow and makes his needs known by barking, "Woof! Woof!" At least his young owner thinks she can interpret his barks, but sometimes Biscuit has his own ideas. This does just what it's supposed to--it offers an appealing story with a minimum of words that will encourage new readers. The very simple, good-size pictures depict the heart of the action. A sweet entry to reading. Ilene Cooper

A Great Book for your Baby or Your Beginning Reader,
By A Customer
This review is from: Biscuit (My First I Can Read) (Paperback)
We bought this book for our daughter the year before she started Kindergarten, in hopes that it would help to get her started with reading. And it indeed turned out to be one of the first books she was able to read alone. She is in first grade now, and her reading level has progressed well beyond Biscuit. But we have found renewed life for the book with our one year old baby. He loves Biscuit. It is his favorite bedtime story, and he never tires of hearing it. The delightful story of the little yellow dog who finds excuse after excuse not to go to bed will enchant your children, from infancy to elementary school.

A Comforting Story for the Beginner Reader,
By Michael (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biscuit (My First I Can Read) (Paperback)
Biscuit is a cute "small, yellow puppy" owned by an equally adorable 3 to 6 year-old, auburn-haired girl. Most of this 21-page book is in the following format:
Time for bed, Biscuit! Woof, woof! Biscuit wants ... What does Biscuit want? Well, he wants "to play, a snack, a drink, to hear a story, his blanket, his doll, a hug, a kiss, a light on, to be tucked in, one more kiss, one more hug, and to curl up." Thirty-five simple words are introduced and many are used over and over again so that the text eventually averages a little more than six words per page. This warm, comforting story is perfect for a child who has just started to learn to read.

Very Helpful for Beginning Readers,
By Heather Harpel (Kellogg, ID) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biscuit (My First I Can Read) (Paperback)
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.
