Dog Loves Books

Now a major CBeebies show!




Meet Dog and let him show you why he LOVES BOOKS!

Dog loves books! Dog loves books about dinosaurs and Dog loves books about aliens: in fact Dog loves all books! Dog has his very own bookshop, although he doesn't have many customers. But that's all right, because when Dog is surrounded by books, he is never short of friends or fun.

Praise for Dog Loves Books

These are wonderful books from a wonderfully inventive writer and illustrator

Philip Ardagh, The Big Issue

Dog Loves Books was deservedly short-listed for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. [This] story of a book-selling dog better at imagining than shifting his stock is a delight

Nicholas Tucker, Independent

A book that is literally about how great books are

Scottish Sunday Herald

A story with a valuable message

Oxford Times

A wonderful book and an endearing story for any child or adult to read, particularly those who may think that books or them or they do not like reading. This would be an ideal story to use as a vehicle through which to engage and entice young children into reading

Early Years Educator

The illustrations are nicely unusual and felt accessible. Overall, the book is nicely presented. It's great to find a book that my children like which doesn't involve super-hero's or television/film characters! This book has become a firm favourite in our house and has sparked off a few drawing sessions. Well worth acquiring, if you have a toddler. It scores very highly in our house!

What a wonderful passion to pass on to younger readers! . . . This is a simple but heartfelt celebration of the power of imagination and the simple happiness that books can bring us all, young and old

Niamh Sharkey, Irish Times

Yates conveys emotion superbly . . . A fine tale for encouraging early readers
