Review

Biscuit and the little girl who loves him are preparing for some backyard camping in this installment of the popular easy reader series. They make a tent by throwing a blanket over the clothes line. Biscuit discovers a frog and then gets spooked from all the new sights and sounds. Fireflies come out, as well as thunder and lightning, which brings the camping experience inside by the dog bed. Each page has minimal text for the new reader. Schories' traditional watercolors enhanced digitally with Photoshop provide the details of setting up the tent, chocolate chip cookies in a baggie, the lightening in the distance and the love that the little girl feels as she curls up next to Biscuit's dog bed. Recommended for easy reader collections.

Overall Book Score: very good
