Gr. 1. Biscuit, the adorable little tan puppy, finds something under the house. Is it a ball? A bone? No, it's a baby duckling that Biscuit's owner takes back to the pond. The duckling is reunited with its parents and siblings but still wants to follow its new friend Biscuit. Like the previous book, Biscuit (1996), this features short, very simple sentences and nice large shapes set against expanses of white space. Format and content make this just right as a My First I Can Read Book. ((Reviewed May 1, 1997)) Copyright 2000 Booklist Reviews - Horn Book Guide Reviews : Horn Book Guide Reviews 1997
Biscuit, a puppy, meets a duckling. In his exuberance to play with the duck, Biscuit falls in the pond. This is the simplest of stories told with an extremely limited vocabulary, often no more than six words per page, and illustrated with overly cute watercolors.

Capucilli and Schories team up again for another beginning reader featuring Biscuit the puppy. Here, the dog and his young owner find a duckling and reunite it with its family in the pond. Colorful and appealing watercolor illustrations, surrounded by ample white space, support the text. Biscuit's face is filled with new-puppy curiosity and his tail seems to be constantly wagging. Short, simple sentences in large-sized print contribute to the readability. Plenty of "quacks" and "woofs" encourage expressive telling aloud. Sure to be a popular choice.
