About the author

Alyssa Satin Capucilli was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1957. She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College, and pursued her interest in dance, becoming a professional dancer and dance instructor. Though Capucilli had written stories, poems, and even puppet shows as a child, she didn't consider a career as a writer until after her own two children were born. To this day she sees herself as both a dancer and a writer, and the two professions complement each other nicely: dancing is, in her words, “telling stories in another way,” and readers of her children's books can attest to the rhythm of her language. Since 1994, she has written more than 15 books for children, and her work has been translated into French, Hebrew, Afrikaans, Greek, and Bulgarian.

Capucilli lives in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, with her husband and children. They have a chocolate Labrador retriever named Huckleberry, who likes to watch the author at work.

Julianna read this book to me last night. She gives it 5 stars.

[Lorellie]

Another exceedingly adorable day in the life of Biscuit, an excellent series of early reader books.

[Kylee Windus]

We don’t judge me for reading a ton of children’s books in 2024, because I decided to read a bunch of books from my family’s play room. I don’t know, I probably just wanted to read the most books. Would not recommend doing this. It sucked, and was very boring. I will not be doing this ever again. (Same applies to all children’s book read in 2024)

[Jillian]

It's a cute story, but I'm never sure whether Biscuit is barking or whether his human is trying to speak dog to him. Like, how much should I commit to the animal noises?

[Miss Sarah]

[Viviane Elbee]

Beginner reader fans of Biscuit the dog and parades would enjoy this book.

[Emmett Griffo]

E loved this one!

[Jesse]

A sweet story. I barked a lot while reading this aloud...

[James Schultz]

I liked it because Biscuit tried to save the clowns balloons and brought them back. I liked the way the wrote the music for the book when the band marched by : Rum-pa-pa-pum!

[Cara]

My son loves reading Biscuit books. Biscuit goes to the parade and saves the day after almost ruining it for some clowns.

[Taylor]

Biscuit goes to a parade. Lots of repetition with the words. Good for children to read.

[Karin]

Ugh. Why did I get a Biscuit book? I thought my emerging reader might be able to decide, but not so much. Kids enjoyed the story well enough, but the words were awful and the story boring.

[Grace Whitener]

I'm glad that Biscuit saved the balloons for the clowns.

[Little Seesaw]

These little Biscuit books are so perfect for beginners. The pictures are adorable.

[Zeffie]

Amazing!

[Lulu Ates]

[Addie]

Really cute. 12 month old liked it too. 12 month old picked this out as her free book for library challenge reward.

[Amber Hooper]

We love biscuit for bedtime stores ♥️

[Halo Chapel]

7 year olds review -
I like how it was cute
I like how its kind of silly.
I like how its kind of long and kind of not.
I like that it is a story and not a lesson.

[Robyn Robare]

I read this myself!

[Adam]

(read aloud by himself at 4yo, no words missed)

[zhanghao]

The Biscuit is very cute and is the loyal companion of the little mistress.

[Brittany DeWolf]

Very cute book! The illustrations were colorful, but simple, so as not to overwhelm. The text was also simple, but large, making it easy for the early readers.

[JonasCephalosaurus Ocra Neo]

Start: biscuit went to a parade.
Body: biscuit found a firefighters dog
Ending: he caught the clown's balloon

[Pinky]

If you like the Biscuit series you will probably enjoy "Biscuit and the Big Parade!". Cute illustrations, that are typical of the series. The story itself leaves a lot to be desired, but would be great for kids who are just starting to read for themselves. Nothing new to the series but not a bad read for beginner readers.
