Kit’s Biscuit Business by Nicholas Bruce

A Secret Kitchen Adventure with a Very “Purr-fessional” Chef

Meet Kit. To his human friend, Jessica, he’s just a curious house cat. But the second that front door clicks shut, the fur rolls up and the oven goes on! Kit is actually the CEO of a secret, high-stakes biscuit company, and he’s a true “purr-fessional.”

Follow Chef Kit as he races against the clock to knead, bake, and—most importantly—clean up his famous biscuits before Jessica walks through the door. Kit’s Biscuit Business is a charming, fast-paced story that celebrates creativity and the secret lives of our favorite felines. It’s a human-centric (well, feline-centric!) adventure that reminds us that big dreams can be baked in even the smallest kitchens.

Why this book is helpful:

• Sparks Imagination: Encourages children to wonder about the hidden lives of their pets, fostering creative storytelling.
• Celebrates Confidence: Kit takes pride in his work and his “business,” modeling self-reliance and passion.
• Teaches Responsibility: Highlights the importance of the “clean up” phase of any project (a win for every parent!).
• Perfect for Read-Alouds: The “race against the clock” theme creates a fun, high-energy rhythm that keeps toddlers and preschoolers hooked.
• Warm & Cozy Aesthetic: The kitchen setting and adorable illustrations make it an ideal “winding down” book that still feels exciting.

This is Nicholas Bruce’s very first book! Inspired by his real-life cat, Kit, the story was born from those daily moments of wondering what a pet does while the humans are away.

After reading about Chef Kit, why not head to the kitchen and make some “secret biscuits” of your own? (Just make sure you help with the clean-up like Kit does!).
