A Dog adventure full of fairytale magic from Louise Yates - New York Times bestselling author and winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize
Louise's first book, A Small Surprise, was published by Random
House in 2009. Her second, Dog Loves Books, debuted as a New York
Times Bestseller and won the Parents' Choice Award in the US. In
the UK Dog Loves Books won the 2010 Roald Dahl Funny Prize and was
nominated (along with the more recent Frank and Teddy Make Friends,
2011, and Dog Loves Drawing, 2012) for the Kate Greenaway Medal.
Dog Loves Drawing has also been shortlisted for the Red House
Children's Award, 2013. Dog Loves Counting was released in the UK
in March 2013.
Louise is currently working on a new series, Toad and I with Random
House and developing the Dog Loves series for TV with Random House
Children's Screen Entertainment.
Louise read English at Christ Church, Oxford, and studied drawing
at The Prince's Drawing School, London. As well as illustrating,
she practises other forms of painting and drawing, and in 2010, won
the Prince of Wales' Award for Portrait Drawing at the Royal
Society of Portrait Painters' Annual Exhibition. She lives and
works in London.
'Even in a golden age of illustrated children's books, Louise Yates
stands out as a superb artist and storyteller.' A. N. Wilson
Every school library should have Louise Yates' Dog Loves Books and
Dog Loves Fairy Tales to encourage children to read and love
books.
*Parents in Touch*
Yates is building Dog into quite a favourite, and the hero’s
charming, reassuring shepherding of the gloomy, doomy imp is a
gentle way to introduce the moral of the story — that, sometimes,
you create your own limitations.
