Yates, Louise (2010). Dog Loves Books. New York, NY: Alfred A. Knopf.
This book is about a dog who loves BOOKS!! I love dogs and I love books so this was a great one for me :) The dog in the book loves books so much that he decides to open up his own bookstore. He gets everything ready and opens up his store. Nobody comes in :( After waiting and waiting, he finally gets two customers who go into the store on accident. One day while he is waiting for a customer, he decides to open a book and suddenly forgets that he is lonely and that he has no customers. He is taken to many places in his books and makes many new friends inside each and every book he opens. When he FINALLY does get a customer in his bookstore, he knows EXACTLY which books to recommend!!
Louise Yates does a great job with the illustrations. Pictures are done in a watercolor fashion and are just beautiful. Dog is a very happy looking creature who shows exactly how he is feeling (usually happy) with his facial expressions.
