Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"I guess it does

look like a poem

when you see it

typed up

like that."

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 he does have something to say.

With a fresh and deceptively simple style, acclaimed author Sharon Creech tells a story with enormous heart. Written as a series of free-verse poems from Jack's point of view, Love That Dog shows how one boy finds his own voice with the help of a teacher, a writer, a pencil, some yellow paper, and of course, a dog.

Synopsis:

Jack hates poetry. Every time he tries to write a poem his brain feels empty. But his teacher won't stop giving the class poetry assignments. Jack can't avoid them, but then something amazing happens--the more he writes, the more he learns he has something to say.
