"Books make great friends and the sweet little dog in this story provides a warm introduction to the companionship found in reading, and how books bring us together." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor

A picture-book treat for the youngest dog lovers.

Dog loves books SO much he opens his very own bookstore. At first he’s short of customers. But that’s all right, because when Dog is surrounded by books, he is never short of friends—or fun. And when customers begin arriving, he knows just which books to recommend.

Louise Yates’s expressive little white dog—and his many expressive doggie customers—extend an irresistible invitation to the very youngest to try reading. It’s fun!

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1–A small white dog loves books so much that he decides to open his own bookstore. Unfortunately, no customers come, so he occupies his time by reading. He is engrossed in his imaginary adventures when his first real customer asks for a book. Of course, he knows exactly what to suggest. The simple story is accompanied by soft pastel pencil and watercolor drawings that give the book a whimsical, dreamy quality. Dog is surrounded by nonthreatening dinosaurs, space aliens, and other creatures when he is reading about them. Young children can enjoy the book by themselves by following the charming illustrations. Pair this gentle tale with a winning message with Tad Hills's How Rocket Learned to Read (Random, 2010) for a dogs-that-love-books storytime.Martha Simpson, Stratford Library Association, CT

5.0 out of 5 stars A Most Creative Dog!
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2010

Thank you Louise Yates! I Love 'Dog Loves Books'! This book would be great to read to a group of children. We are reading it for Story Time at our store. My favorite part is Dog's very expressive ears. I also love the picture where Dog is blissing-out whilst lying on a book. Another favorite is the last page (I won't spoil the ending). I also love the fantasy of Dog reading on the job. I know no booksellers who get to read at work, but what a lovely picture. I want to shop at Dog's Book Store!

I found the book amazing because it teaches kids the importance of the imagination that comes from reading and how books can help us in different ways. Good message in a good story.

I love these 4 books by Louise Yates. The drawings are lovely and the message pretty simple: imagination, you're never alone with books, and books can bring people together. To be clear, several reviews below are about a completely different book & author. This us NOT a book by Louise Edrich, it is a children's books by Louise Yates!

Recommended Age says 3-7 but I think this book really would be more appropriate for ages 1-3. If you're looking for a very quick read for story time then this is perfect. Cute story, good illustrations, but really geared towards a younger reader than my 4 y.o.

My therapy dog and I meet with children in libraries so that the children can read to my dog. This book is a fun read and has nice illustrations. A good tool for our library reading program.

Here is a well written and well illustrated book that will be enjoyed not only by children but adults as well! Dog is delightful, the underlying theme -- a love of books and how books can be friends -- well done. Recommended! And then get the sequel, which is even better: Dog Loves Drawing!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute, but do not pair with Rocket
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2010

This is a cute little book, and children will enjoy it. However, the reviewer used by Amazon, who suggested it be paired with How Rocket Learned to Read, is dead wrong. How Rocket Learned... is a theoretically unsound book.
