Biscuit and the Lost Teddy Bear (My First I Can Read!)
“Biscuit and the Lost Teddy Bear” is a “My First” book in the “I Can Read!” series of books. In this adventure Biscuit finds a lost teddy bear and sets out on finding the bear’s owner. Max: “I like Biscuit books. I can’t read all of the words in the book but I can read all of the ones that say ‘Woof, woof!’ I liked when Biscuit was looking for whose teddy bear it was they found. I am glad they found him. My favorite picture was when Biscuit finds the teddy bear on the fence.” Parent’s comments: In the beginning my son could only pick out and read the “Woof, woof!” parts and the word “no.” After we read it a few times though, he was able to “read” almost the entire book because of the repetition. “Biscuit and the Lost Teddy Bear” is an excellent book for one just learning to read.
Reviewed by (age 2) and for Reader Views (3/11) Biscuit found a lost teddy bear! The bear does not belong to any of his friends, but Biscuit is determined to find the person he belongs too. The search takes Biscuit and his owner on a short yet charming adventure that is certain to delight even the youngest of readers! Will Biscuit be able to reunite the teddy bear with his owner? What Hailey had to say: “Biscuit found a bear. Not a bird, a teddy bear! Not a butterfly, a teddy bear! It is lost, poor teddy bear. He’s sad. It’s not Sam’s. It’s not Puddles. Biscuit sees a big, big truck with big boxes! Biscuit sees a baby in a stroller crying because he wanted a teddy bear. He wants to be pushed. The little boy is happy Biscuit found his teddy bear. He grabbed it with his hands, like this [illustrates grabbing with hands]. He’s happy and not crying. They get hugs. Biscuit wants a bear.” What Mom thought: I loved this book! Hailey was very animated while reading this story. She would answer questions asked during the reading process, for example, “Is it a bird?” She would answer, “Not a bird, a teddy bear!” The book boasts that it is easy to follow for even the youngest reader. I fully support this statement. While I read this book to Hailey, my one-year-old nephew joined us and also followed along and enjoyed the book. He would answer the questions with one word phrases, such as “No” or “Bear.” The book is perfect for those beginning to read. The words are simple and repetitive. The story itself is not long which is great for young attention spans and children who are learning to read or just learned to read. In addition to a great story and quality time spent reading, the illustrations in this book are wonderful examples of how perfectly Biscuit this story is. I never fail to enjoy the illustrations that the Biscuit books offer. I would recommend “Biscuit and the Lost Teddy Bear” to others, specifically those with children ages 2-6. |
