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.

Biscuit is, as always, a joy for both myself and Tot.

Easy reader. Basic language. Dog.

Biscuit the dog visits the farm in spring.

Great book for very first readers, repetitive words, big text, small sentences, big illustrations.

Features Biscuit the dog and young girl.

Reminded me of Dick and Jane. :)

I find I am running out of things to say about Biscuit books. L can read a few words in these books independently now. Llamas are cute.

A puppy named Buscuit meets all the baby animals at the farm. Cute art. No real story.
