This is a nice book for a beginning reader. The story and illustrations are simple. The author, Alyssa Satin Capucilli, obviously put some thought into choosing the words for a beginning reader. There are combinations of easy sounding words like "Sam can carry a big stick" which a reader can pick out the "a" in 'Sam can' and then sound out 'big' and 'stick' while working on the word 'carry.'The book presents some minor challenges to keep a new reader interested as well as easy challenges to keep the reader's confidence up.
The first book my Granddaughter read to me was a Biscuit book from school. She was so excited that I bought some more for her and for her brother next year.I am afraid I find these books boring, but they are easy enough to excite a first timer, and that is the whole purpose. I would describe the Biscuit books as reading level.50.
the dick & jane books bring back memories of my childhood and learning to read in 1st and 2nd grade. to have them for my grandkids is such fun and they are reproduced so well. i love them.
My daughter is in first grade and is a beginner reader and she loves Bisquit books. They are on her level and the pictures of Bisquit are so adorable, she loves to read about his adventures and Bisquit is trying to be a big dog when he is a little puppy and she relates to this because she wants to be like her big brother. I would recommend this book for ages 4 to 7.
But now Sam, one of his kid owners (the girl with curly hair), and The-Girl-In-Purple-Sneakers are all playing together.Sam is a very big dog, so big that Biscuit could take a bath in his water dish. Biscuit's friend Sam is back. We met sam back in Happy Chanukah, Biscuit, but did not learn much about him. Biscuit wants to be big like Sam but learns, in the end, that being small has its own virtues.Another fun Biscuit book. In this one Biscuit learns that being oneself if the thing to do and that you need not be like someone else.
