Louise Yates – Dog Loves Drawing
Dog Loves Drawing is a story of a pup named Dog. He loved books, he
loved reading books that he had his own bookshop so that he could read all the
books himself. Dog one day receives a package from his aunt Dora, it was a
book, but Dog was surprised to see that when he opened the book there were no
words or pictures. The rest of the story takes us into the mind of this
wonderful little character developing a love for drawing through creativity and
imagination. He creates characters himself and they help him move a long and
fill all the pages in his new sketchbook. This is a great story to read to
children who are just beginning to record their drawings and ideas in
sketchbooks. It encourages children to think about blank pages as a liberty and
freedom to express their ideas as they may wish. In his sketchbook Dog uses different
materials like color pencils, graphite, and paint to make really appealing
drawings which have many line variations. Thinking of sketchbooks as story books
helps a child organize their ideas in a fun way.
