Biscuit and the Baby (My First I Can Read)

I got this for my little niece. It was one of her favorite books as a little girl. Now that's older, she still enjoys the Biscuit books but does take the time to enjoy other story books too.

My 2 grand daughters, ages 2 & 3 1/2 loved it. I sent it directly to them so I have not seen it.

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 you can read these books several times in one sitting, they're that short. 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. Incidentally, in this book, the endpapers show a baby bottle. No baby feeding is shown in the book itself, but if you're an avid lactivist, you may want to check the book out before buying it.

Great books for preschoolers. Short and sweet with cute drawings. Biscuit is mischievous but kind, and his curiosity about the baby surely resonates with many new big sisters and brothers.

There is a new baby in the house and Biscuit wants to meet it. But babies need a lot of attention and that means the baby is not always available to be met. But eventually Biscuit gets his chance. Told in the same style as most of the other Biscuit books, this one has more of the repetition of the original than many of the others. The art is completely adorable as always and fans of these books will not be disappointed.
