Author: Sharon Creech 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.
