I Can Read Biscuit - 6 Book Set (My First Shared Reading)

by Alyssa Satin Capucilli

Like most puppies (and kids), Biscuit would rather play than do what he's told. These six sweet stories follow the lovable yellow puppy as he plays in the garden, meets the baby, plays with a new friends, visits the farm and wins a prize! Young readers won't be able to resist reading about him, and the simply written stories make it easy for them to do so independently. Sweet and funny illustrations add to the reading pleasure.

About the author

Alyssa Satin Capucilli was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1957. She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College, and pursued her interest in dance, becoming a professional dancer and dance instructor. Though Capucilli had written stories, poems, and even puppet shows as a child, she didn't consider a career as a writer until after her own two children were born. To this day she sees herself as both a dancer and a writer, and the two professions complement each other nicely: dancing is, in her words, “telling stories in another way,” and readers of her children's books can attest to the rhythm of her language. Since 1994, she has written more than 15 books for children, and her work has been translated into French, Hebrew, Afrikaans, Greek, and Bulgarian.

Capucilli lives in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, with her husband and children. They have a chocolate Labrador retriever named Huckleberry, who likes to watch the author at work.

[Deidra Chamberlain · Rating 4 out of 5]

My 4yo loves these. I wish the “woof, woof” wasn’t repeated so often. I know it’s exciting for kids when they can read a word, but it’s excessive even for them. I usually don’t read the woofs anymore and they are sweet.
