A delightful story with a funny end. 10/10
Dog Loves Drawing is the latest book by children's illustrator Louise Yates. Dog loves books so much he opens a book shop. One day, he receives a blank book in the post from his Aunt Dora. As he begins to draw in the book, he whizzes off on a magical adventure.
This is a delightful book that shoots off on a captivating adventure. In much the same way young children's play takes fast, imaginative and sometimes bizarre twists, this book does the same as dog creates a cast of crazy characters and sets off on a journey.
The illustrations are fab and duck's final creation at the end a laugh out loud moment.
Perfect for children aged 3 - 6 years of age.

A fun and suspenseful story in itself. But the real joy of this picture book is that it is so inspiring. It is illustrated in pencil crayon (with a touch of watercolour) and every image is a work in progress, suggesting the potential for any reader to follow suit. And there is comedy in the pictures
- The Sunday Times

- Early Years Educator
Anyone unfamiliar with Dog Loves Books has two treats in store. Yates’s sequel has a sparing elegance and proceeds with gusto. Everyone, she seems convinced, has a drawing in them. The pencils look so real that you could pick them off the page.
- The Guardian
a charming tale that art-loving children will enjoy
- The Telegraph
...a well produced book on a classic theme..the simple line-drawings may provide inspiration to try their own hand at following Dog's example.
