< blockquote> < p> Jack < /p> < p> Room 105 — Miss Stretchberry < /p> < p> September 13 < /p> < /center> < p> I don't want to< br> because boys < br> don't write poetry. < /p> < p> Girls do. < /p> < /blockquote> Meet Jack, who tells his story with a little help from some paper, a pencil, his teacher, and a dog named Sky.

Review:

"Creech has created a poignant, funny picture of a child's encounter with the power of poetry. Readers may have a similar experience because all of the selections mentioned in the story are included at the end. This book is a tiny treasure." Lee Bock, School Library Journal

Review:

"Teachers will take this story to heart, recognizing Miss Stretchberry's skilled and graceful teaching and Jack's subtle emotional growth both as a person and a writer. This really special triumph is bound to be widely discussed by teachers and writers, and widely esteemed by Creech's devoted readers." Kirkus Reviews
