TIME OUT! Biscuit Plays Ball by Alyssa Satin Capucilli

 

"IT'S TIME TO PLAY BALL, BISCUIT!"

"WOOF! WOOF"

The girl tells him to sit and watch by the bleachers. Puppies love ballgames. But little Biscuit doesn't know the rules! And Biscuit doesn't want to stay.

HE WANTS TO PLAY!

And when the ball is in play, Biscuit rushes to chase it--and grab it! Uh-oh! One bite, and that kickball is a dead ball!

No more kickball game! But here comes a boy with a bat and and a baseball in his puppy Puddle's mouth! Okay, everyone. Batter up!

WOOF WOOF! BOW WOW!

The pitcher delivers her best fast ball.

But Biscuit beats the batter to the ball. The chase is on, and Biscuit is on the run!

It's TIME OUT! at the old ball game, when Biscuit tries to get into the play action in Alyssa Satin Capucilli's Biscuit Plays Ball (My First I Can Read).

Capucilli's early reading series hits a home run when it comes to early readers, especially with the absolutely adorable illustrations by Pat Schories. With plenty of visual cues and controlled vocabulary, this one is out of the park for rookie readers.
