Happy Birthday, Biscuit!

I am so used to the "I Can Read" Biscuit stories that I was surprised by this one which features more words and longer sentences. In fact, it wasn't until I checked and rechecked the cover that I realized it was a read-aloud book (lol). That said, it could be used for a practice reader for advanced kindergarteners or first graders. Three pages of text follow so you can judge for yourself: "Now it's time for birthday treats," said the little girl. "Make a wish, Biscuit." Woof! "Funny puppy! You want to open your birthday presents!" Four Stars. Nice Read-aloud that should appeal to older babies and toddlers. I wouldn't purchase it for kindergarteners or older children unless I was going to use it as a practice reader. In general, the "Booklist" review does a very good job in summarizing the book.
