(4) K-3 My First I Can Read Book series. Illustrated by Pat Schories. His owner brushes and readies Biscuit the puppy for the pet show, but Biscuit doesn't want to wait for the judge. He runs around and plays with the other pets, and his owner fears he won't win a prize. While not dynamic, the simple story with its appealing illustrations is suitable for new readers.
