The Aristokittens #2: The Great Biscuit Bake-Off

Ages 5 to 8, Grades K to 3

Catalog Copy: Kittens Marie, Berlioz, and Toulouse have just opened the most popular spot in Paris--a hidden cafe for animals of all kinds! Each kitten has their own role: Marie creates the menu, Berlioz plays music, and Toulouse decorates the walls with his paintings. But Toulouse knows he could create some beautiful treats . . . and he wishes he could learn to bake, too.

So when some puppies arrive from out of town and start arguing over who can make the best dog biscuits, city or country pups, the kittens decide to host a Dog Biscuit Bake-Off. Toulouse knows this could be the perfect opportunity to prove he can bake, too! He and Marie quickly end up on rival teams, supporting their new puppy friends. Who will win the Bake-Off? And with Berlioz keeping secrets of his own, could the contest results change things at the cafe forever?

Filled with mystery, fun, and friendship, each book in the Aristokittens series will expand the world of Disney's The Aristocats through the eyes of its iconic kitten trio--and is the perfect recipe for fun!
