Dog Loves Drawing - Couverture rigide

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.

Best of all...

Could improve...
