Just like most young children (especially those reading this book on their own), Biscuit feels that he is ready for the world of school, especially when his owner goes off without him. Even though dogs are not allowed, Biscuit takes a chance anyway. He wanders through the school gym, library, cafeteria, and eventually ending in a classroom. On determining to meet the whole class he leaves the comfort of his backpack and is soon spotted by the teacher, but even mean teachers can't resist the cuteness of a puppy, especially Biscuit.
The story is of a puppy that follows its person to school, and just wants to play. When the little girl realizes her puppy is at school, she does not want to get in trouble and hides the dog. Biscuit makes his way out of his hiding spot and warms the hearts of all the children and the teacher. It's a happy story. Warm fuzzy ending. The illustrations are rich, and detailed enough that a young child, kindy or first grader could really feel like they are reading about a true account, and get into the story as well as the pictures. It sends a negative message to small children that when something happens that they know is wrong, to hide it,instead of bring it out in the open, and everything will end up ok regardless.
These books are so cute. This particular one would be wonderful to read on the first day of school especially in kindergarten. When I did student teaching in a kindergarten class a student read a biscuit book to the class, this was toward the end of the school year when she really began to shine in reading. These are very easy to read books that I would recommend to all begining readers for at school and in the home.
This book is about a dog named Biscuit who wants to go to school. He follows this little girl to school and join in with her class. I love this book because its very cutie and has a cool meaning. I would use this book for teaching because some of the kids can relate to this book by wishing they can bring there dog into school. This book would be good for kids who are starting to learn how to read.
Biscuit Goes to School is an easy to read book about a dog named biscuit who wants to go to school with his owner. She leaves for school on the bus but biscuit follows and goes to school. I would recommend for children just learning how to read.
This book is about a dog named biscuit. Biscuit wants to go to school but his owner tells him over and over "dog's dont go to school!" he followes him to school and does everything the children do. At the end of the day buscuit loved school and the kids and teacher loved biscuit! This would be a good book to read to younger kids on the first day of school, or for a struggling reader because it is an "I Can Read book."
Shades of Mary and her little lamb:

Biscuit followed his girl to school one day, school one day, school one day.
Which was against the rules.
He made the children laugh and play, laugh and play, laugh and play.
To see a pup at school.
Will the teacher send him out, send him out, send him out?
Or will he linger near?
Why everyone loves Biscuit no doubt, Biscuit no doubt, Biscuit no doubt!
Because he is so dear.
