Big Buddies! Biscuit's Big Friend by Alyssa Satin Capucilli

For a little pup like Biscuit, keeping up with his big shaggy-dog friend Sam sometimes takes all he got! Sam's long legs give him an advantage when he dashes around the hard. He can jump over the fence, while Biscuit has to wiggle under it. Sam can carry big sticks high in his mouth, but Biscuit's best is just to drag a stick along behind him.

And it is SO much fun to run with Sam.

WOOF! WOOF! RUFF!

But Sam's water dish is so big that Biscuit falls head-first right into it!

SPLASH!

But when the kids play Fetch with the dogs and the ball rolls out of reach under the backyard fence, it's Biscuit who squirms under the fence and fetches the ball right back to Sam.

Alyssa Satin Caupucilli's Biscuit's Big Friend (My First I Can Read) (Harper I-Can-Read Books) shows that size doesn't get in the way of friendship. Kids just beginning to try to read with help will find Pat Schories' illustrations cue them in to the text, encouraging them to identify with little Biscuit to try their best to read this fun story for themselves.
