Join Biscuit as he goes on an adventure to the library for “Read to a Pet Day.”

Biscuit Loves the Library by Alyssa Satin Capucilli is a wonderful children’s story. It is a fiction story about a dog named biscuit who loves going to the library. He loves the puppet shows and different books to read. The librarian helps him find the perfect activity. This is a must read for young children especially when they are just beginning to read. ( )

"It's Read to a Pet Day!" So girl and Biscuit are off to the library. The library environment is shown as well as other animals that can be pets. It's hard for me not to like this book as it is so Library Friendly.

Besides doing it's service as a primer for newish readers, this book can be used with younger children to show them what to expect when they visit a library. In the artwork we see book baskets, books on shelves, various reading areas, as well as puppets and earphones. The girl points out that the library has audio materials so they can listen to stories.

It's a bit strange to see a fireplace at the library, but I'm sure some library somewhere has one. The only other thing you might have to explain is that they are unlikely to encounter pets. (Though our library does have a good sized turtle.) ( )
