SynopsisThe 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, Miss 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.", The Newbery Medal-winning author of Walk Two Moons, Sharon Creech , brings readers a story with enormous heart.

  • Disappointed

    This book was rated good, but it was totally rumpled in a way that cannot be flattened out. I’m not sure I even want to put it in my classroom.

  • Great Quick Read

    Great book! It's one of those books that you pick it up and then you can't put it down. It's a single-sided notebook conversation between a student who hates poetry and his teacher.
