(3) K-3 I Can Read Book series. Illustrated by Pat Schories. In a simple, repetitive story line, a puppy imitates a small child in the familiar bedtime drama of attempting to avoid lights out. The minimal vocabulary ("Woof, woof!" figures largely) and universally appealing subject make it a good choice for youngsters just beginning to read. This paper-over-board edition of Biscuit's first easy reader includes an appendix celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of I Can Read.
