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.
Target readers:

It's time for bed, but Biscuit wants to have a snack, and play, and hear stories. Will he ever go to sleep?

I can remember reading this book all the time when I was younger! I just loved it. It made me want a puppy that was just like the one in the story. It's a good book because the words in it are big and easy to read, and because it teaches responsibility because it shows the girl in the story feeding him and taking care of him. I gave this book 5 stars. |

My mother, a teacher, gave us some Biscuit books for our 4 year old son. He loved them so much; he has learned to read them in just a couple weeks.
The illustrations are as cute as can be. The text ranges from simple to moderate for a first reader. I have found the balance between easy to read / appropriately repetitive text and few few places where the rules for sounds change a little to be just right. You can see where your child will try to apply a known rule but will fail. You can explain the difference between the words and how to know proper pronunciation. After doing it a few times, he gets not just the words, but the rule. This, of course, requires the parent to be active while the child is reading. The construction of the book provides plenty of reinforcement for the child and our son always wants to read more. However, like all things, it is good to get other first readers as well. After a point, children will have memorized the text and will no longer be really 'reading' or stretching themselves. We have some Bob the Builder, Toy Story, etc. books. However, Biscuit was unknown to us and is preferred by our son. |

Very simple, very repetitive (This is Biscuit. Biscuit is small. Biscuit is yellow. Every page includes the word Biscuit, so you either memorize the spelling or the meaning, or both). Perfect for kids in either age range. The only problem with the repetitiveness is that, well, it is repetitive. And without a rhyme or rhythm to hold you through, you might get bored reading it. So I wouldn't advise buying it unless you know you can sit through reading it again and again (or think your kid won't want to read it again and again, though that defeats the purpose of book buying) |

My son is almost 21 months old, and he is positively addicted to Biscuit! As many reviews attest, the Biscuit books would be wonderful for beginning readers, but they are also great for toddlers just learning how to string sentences together. My son now asks us to "curl up" with him, tell us that "Biscuit wants a big hug" and has even named his favorite stuffed puppy "Biscuit." We read this book (and the two others we have) nearly every night; they're short, they're simple, and they're adorable. Definitely a good investment. |
