This story is about how Biscuit learned to fetch, and I have to say that I chuckled outloud when I read it. (I won't say more because in this case, there's something to actually give away.)

Besides being a practice reader you can use this book to introduce the notion of training and what's involved. Obviously the book doesn't go into any detail but it does show that learning isn't spontaneous and it's something that trainer and trainee need to patiently practice. ( )

Biscuit doesn't want to play fetch the ball—until the ball lands in a mud puddle. Then Biscuit can't wait to show off his new trick!

Biscuit's owner tries to teach him the new trick of fetching the ball. He gets sidetracked several times and once his owner, a little girl, throws the ball in the mud on accident. This time she doesn't want Biscuit to get the ball, but he does and she's excited he has learned a new trick.

Teachers can use this book to help readers learn new words and enjoy a story. ( )
