Review by Sherri Allen:
How can children's book publisher HarperCollins improve Alyssa Satin Capucilli's Biscuit series? By offering 10 of Biscuit's most endearing stories in one book. That's exactly what they've done with the Biscuit Storybook Collection.
Biscuit is a sweet-faced puppy you want to grab right out of the pages and cuddle. He and the little girl share the simple joys of childhood, like getting ready for bed and having a picnic. They share the excitement of adventures like being in a pet show and having a birthday party. They share the ability to take things that don't turn out quite right and make them wonderful.
The Biscuit Storybook Collection is the perfect book to introduce a child to the joys of reading. The large typeface, simple words and repetition make the stories easy to read. The sweet plots and the delightful illustrations by Pat Schories make the stories a joy to read. The pictures are very gentle, with soft lines and colors, but are full of expression and activity. They are very effective at creating interest and encouraging the beginning reader to keep going to find out what happens next.
The stories included in the Biscuit Storybook Collection are:
- Biscuit
- Biscuit Wins a Prize
- Biscuit's New Trick
- Happy Birthday, Biscuit!
- Biscuit's Picnic
- Biscuit's Day at the Beach
- Time to Paint Biscuit!
- Biscuit Meets the Neighbors
- Biscuit Goes to the Park
- Biscuit and the Bunny
The Biscuit Storybook Collection is a must-have for your child's library. At my 3-year old's insistence, we have read stories from the Biscuit Storybook Collection every day since we got the book (2 months ago.) She doesn't show any signs of losing interest in the Biscuit Storybook Collection anytime soon, and I must add, neither do I. It's a very pleasant surprise to find a book that I not only don't mind reading over and over, I actually enjoy and look forward to reading over and over. The price is right, too. The Biscuit Storybook Collection, complete with 10 different stories, doesn't cost any more than the price of a single book. I encourage you to buy this book today!
