Biscuit the puppy takes a trip to the city to visit a friend. His owner notices tall buildings and busy people, but Biscuit focuses on pigeons and hot dogs. Fortunately their friend is a hot dog vendor in the park. The story has minimal plot, but the appealing illustrations and the simple word repetition make this appropriate for new readers.
