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.

And we love getting Biscuit from the library.

I would like to work in a library that allows puppies, please.

Disclaimer: I would like to not be responsible for cleaning up after the puppies, please. Just snuggling them.

Bizcocho strikes again! I think I may have developed a slightly unhealthy obsession with these children's books... you can be sure I will be locating and reading the entire series. But, in all seriousness, they're absolutely brilliant. I would recommend to any and all trying to learn Spanish at any age. The thing about learning a new language is that there's so many online resources, so many textbooks, and so many grammar sites which can help you. But, the thing about that, is there's also not all that much point in them if you're not interested in the matter. So... learning through books, and in particular, Bizcocho, I find, makes the journey a whole lot more enjoyable.

Yet again, the repetition of certain words throughout the piece ensures that at least some stay stuck in your memory. The illustrations ensure you can infer (to at least some extent) the context even if you can't recite every single word. Entirely kid appropriate... and this one in particular fosters a love of reading and books in children. Brilliant. Also, the big text means that kids (and blind adults like myself) can read without having too many issues deciphering letters.

Bizcocho is just incredibly cute and wholesome, and everytime I read one of these books I smile. The story is basic but also kind of heartwarming, and it was a clever touch that Bizcocho found one of his own books to read in the end! I'd say this one was a little more difficult than the school one I'd previously read... simply due to the fact that the vocabulary was slightly more specific. However, natural language learning pathway, and I'm excited to read the rest of the series.

Many thanks to my best friend for getting me on the Bizcocho (and Spanish) train in the first place, and I hope many others profit from these books in the future :)

So cute and fun for kiddies!

What could possibly go wrong when a puppy is let loose in the school library? Triggering other kids’ allergies? Chewing on the books? Slobbering on the puppets? Gnawing the cord off the headphones for the hearing impaired? Peeing on the carpets? No matter! The sole purpose of this ludicrous, self-serving plot is to introduce the first in the long series of books written about Biscuit. Cha-Ching! That said, the cute illustrations of this adorable pup (and all the associated merch) have made Biscuit’s maker a millionaire.

Now, I don't know about anyone else, but my children LOVE the library; however, I can absolutely say with certainty that they would love it even more if there was a puppy there to play with.

"Biscuit Love the Library" is completely adorable, with a tale about children being able to take there pets to the Library so that they can read to them their favorite stories. This little puppy tend to find himself in some sticky situations, but everything always seems to work out for the best in the end.

Biscuit accompanied by his mistress, attends "Read to a Pet Day" at the library, where he tries some hand puppets out as chew toys and listens to a bit of an audiobook on a headset that’s fallen on the floor. He is delighted when a librarian shows him a book with his picture on the cover. Then with his girl he settles down on the floor with the other kids and their pets to read.

The simple text and charming pictures are sure to be enjoyed by beginning readers.

Summary: Biscuit goes to the library!

Why I Read This: It appeared on one of my "best of" lists.

Review: I always liked the idea of biscuit because he's an adorable dog that reminds me of my adorable dogs. This was my first time actually reading a biscuit book, and it was pretty good: simple and clear with good illustrations. I'd definitely recommend it.

OK I have to change my mind Biscuit Goes to School, it is no longer my favorite. Biscuit loves the library has taken first place, because we love the library too! And I love the "perfect book" Biscuit finds. Plus it's at the right level for the 6 year old Little Bug to read by herself.

[Rachel B. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute moment(s): My preschooler asks, "Why is Biscuit reading his own book at the library?" ... and then asks it again every time the cover of this book shows up in the illustrations. Since the story never explicitly addresses the paradox, it was fun to work at explaining it to a four-year-old.

[Tessa Wells · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was such a fun and cute book! I think any kiddo reading it would love it. I hope when children read this book it will encourage them to go to their public library. Any child that loves puppies will sure love to read this book. I love that their is a whole series!

Good repetition for first-readers. Not enough substance for older readers; Still good for little ones.

I'm not a big fan of the Biscuit books, but I know children who are!

Good Book

[Cara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Biscuit goes to the library with his owner because the library was hosting a 'bring your pet day'. He explored the library before picking out a book about himself.

[Stephanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

BV Library checkout - first to herself, then to me.

[Ryan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Simple, clear illustrations that stay in time with the text. Repetitive text and easy to pick up for an early reader.

[Jeremy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Have liked it.

[What April's Reading · Rating 5 out of 5]

Who doesn't love the library?! Biscuit finds the perfect book for him.

[Gracie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Biscuit finds his own book. The library is a fantastic library.

[Jeannie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book broke the fourth wall and Biscuit read a book about Biscuit. Also, my son is making connections to what he is leaning in kindergarten, from “here” to “there” and “where”.

[Becky · Rating 5 out of 5]

Going to the library today (if all goes well) for the first time in well over a year. Hoping this book would prepare us, but there were not etiquette rules for the library.

[Danielle Robertson Robertson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the diversity of animals and humans in the library, and per usual, this is a cute story.

[D Fichera · Rating 4 out of 5]

Simple approach w repetitive words. Good to try catching reading interest for a young kiddo.

[Kayla Melcher · Rating 5 out of 5]

I used to love reading these books growing up, I remember this was one of the first books I could read on my own. It is a super simple story but Biscuit is just so adorable.

[Addie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute. 12 month old picked this out at Costco. She liked it too.

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

My 6 year old daughter was almost able to read this by herself.
