Copywork
About This Passage
Selected because Biscuit's first long sentence is also his first kind decision. Capucilli teaches dialogue punctuation here. The copywork shows how a small puppy who only says "woof" can also be the kind of dog who brings a lost duck home.
"Woof, woof. We will bring the little duck back to the pond."
