About this title

About the Author:

Alyssa Satin Capucilli is the author of the first story about Tulip and Rex, Tulip Loves Rex, as well as the bestselling Biscuit books and many other beloved children's books. She lives in a book-filled home in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.

Pat Schories's engaging illustrations of the puppy Biscuit are modeled on her own dog. In addition to having illustrated all the Biscuit books, she is also the artist and author of He's Your Dog and Mouse Around. Ms. Schories lives in Cold Spring, NY.

From Booklist:

In addition to the picture books that are meant as read-alouds for the youngest child, the Biscuit series offers I Can Read Books aimed at beginning readers. The star is a frisky puppy, who, in this latest adventure is celebrating his first birthday with his dog and cat friends, Puddles and Daisy, and his young owner. There are balloons to chase, presents to open, and delicious birthday treats. Schories' cheerful illustrations capture the festive spirit, and youngsters paging through on their own will find it easy to follow the story. Librarians who find it difficult to sustain a squirmy toddler's interest for a story time will appreciate the simple language, short plot, and colorful pictures this has to offer, while recognizing the very limited appeal for older kids. A good alternative to Eric Hill's Spot series. Lauren Peterson
