Dog Loves Books by Louise Yates

Yates, Louise. Dog Loves Books. Alfred A. Knopf (Random House), 2010. $16.99. PICTURE BOOK. Dog loves books—a lot. So he decides to open a bookstore. He gets everything prepared and waits and waits for people to come. A few people stop by, but not to buy books. Dog is discouraged, but then decides to read while he waits. He goes on several adventures by reading and when customers do come, he knows just what books to recommend. The whimsical pencil and watercolor illustrations are out of this world—literally. A great book to read aloud about the voyeuristic joys of reading. EL – ADVISABLE. Samantha, Public Librarian.
