The Newbery Medal-winning author of Walk Two Moons, Sharon Creech, brings readers a story with enormous heart.
Love That Dog shows how one boy named Jack finds his voice with the help of a teacher, a pencil, some yellow paper, and of course, a dog. Written as a series of free-verse poems from Jack's point of view, and with classic poetry included in the back matter, this novel is perfect for kids and teachers, too.
Jack hates poetry. Only girls write it and every time he tries to, his brain feels empty. But his teacher, Ms. Stretchberry, won't stop giving her class poetry assignments—and Jack can't avoid them. But then something amazing happens. The more he writes, the more he learns that he does have something to say.
"I guess it does
look like a poem
when you see it
typed up
like that."

This book (Love That Dog) is about a boy named Jack. In the beginning of the story, Jack thought that poems were just for girls. Then as time went by, Jack started to write poems, and at the end, he really enjoyed doing it.
I LOVE Love That Dog...in fact, I just ended it and now I'm reading Hate That Cat!!!! It's so awesome!!!
Our reading group just finished this book and we loved it! It takes a lot of inferring work, but the narrator, Jack, is a character you can understand.
a amazing story about a young boy getting over his grief about his poor dead dog that got hit by a car
boring but I guess it was okay
