Editorial Reviews

Biscuit's adventures are followed by an ever expanding audience in the pre-school and early reader groups. The differences between large and small dogs are humorously portrayed in this most recent addition to the series. It can even give the reader some ideas for playing with and caring for their own dog pet. It's an early reader book, which provides a good story with simple sentences and words. Perhaps, there are still some things that small dogs can do better. This book will easily take its place on that favorite bookshelf with the other six adventures of Biscuit. "I Can Read Books" are a kid friendly line of early readers with a limited number of pages and great, attention capturing illustrations. 2003, HarperCollins Publishers Inc, Ages 3 to 6.
