PreS-Gr 1--In this simple, unassuming title, an unnamed narrator speculates why dogs love books so much. Is it the smell? The taste? The sound of someone reading aloud? Perhaps it's "learning about faraway places" or the way that "the magic inside books makes us dream." Ultimately, the narrator decides that dogs love books for the same reasons as human readers: books "make us feel like we are not alone." While the story itself feels a bit underdeveloped, it strikes a warm, comforting tone that evokes the feelings of connection and companionship that both a dog and a good book can offer. Rendered using layered acetate and acrylic paint, the illustrations are bold and the palette of blue, green, orange, and white pops off the pages; children in the art are depicted with either white or orange skin. VERDICT A gentle invitation to young readers to explore the joy and possibility of reading.--Lauren Strohecker
