Dog Loves Drawing




A superb sequel to the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize: DOG LOVES BOOKS!

Dog loves books, but one day he receives a strange one in the post - it's blank! Soon, Dog realises that this book is not for reading, but for drawing, and before long Dog is doodling and drawing himself into a new world, full of friends and surprises.

Praise for Dog Loves Drawing

These are wonderful books from a wonderfully inventive writer and illustrator

Philip Ardagh, The Big Issue

A delightful story with a funny end. 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.

Chopsy Baby, http://chopsybaby.com/magazine/?p=16005

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

Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times

Dog Loves Drawing shows a much-loved character in a whole new light.

Maternity and Infant magazine

...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.

Martin Axford, School Librarian Magazine

Even in a golden age for illustrated children's books, Louise Yates stands out as a superb artist and storyteller

A. N. Wilson, Reader's Digest
