Love That Dog by Sharon Creech
VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: Love That Dog by Sharon Creech. Summary: Love That Dog is a novel written in free verse about a boy named Jack, who thinks he doesn't like poetry. At the beginning of the story, Jack is reluctant to write poems in his classroom because he believes poetry is "for girls" and that he isn't good at it. With encouragement from his teacher, Miss Stretchberry, Jack begins reading poems by famous poets such as Walter Dean Myers, Robert Frost, and William Carlos Williams. As he learns about different styles of poetry, he gradually gains confidence and starts expressing his own thoughts and feelings through writing. Eventually, Jack writes a powerful poem about his beloved yellow dog, Sky, who was killed by a car. Through sharing his emotions, Jack discovers that poetry can help people express difficult feelings. By the end of the book, he has become a confident young poet and even invites one of his favourite poets, Walter Dean Myers, to visit his class.
