This story tickled my "cute" bone, partly because I think opening a bookstore could be kinda cool (but much harder work than this story portrays, but hey, it's a dog)! Sweet illustrations to go along with the sweet story.

Dog loved books. He loved everything about them, so he decided to open a book store, but no one showed up. He decided to read books to pass the time. He loves books but really loves to share them.

LibraryThing member ashleyschifano
Dog loved books so much that he decided to open a book store. He waited a long time for any costumers to come in so he did what he loved the most, he read books. Dog gets taken away by all the books he does not notice his first costumer had come in. The one thing Dog loved more than reading books
This is a great book to share with early readers. Dog shows the joy that comes with reading. Books can take you into another world and new adventures every time you open a new book.

Dog loves books is a great little story about a dog's love for books. He enjoys reading so much that it feels like the stories he reads come to life. I love how the story shows how he did not give up even though there are no customers at his store. There is always a right book for everyone.

Dog opens a bookstore and finds that his passion is reading books and recommending books for others to read. It's a simple story with small illustrations.
LibraryThing member villemezbrown
A dog that loves books opens his own bookstores and endures the ups and downs of retail. Not bad, but no real zing either.
