Love That Dog

School & Library Binding (Turtleback Books April 8, 2008) , Bound for Schools & Libraries ed. Edition
FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. 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. With classic poetry included in the back matter, this provides the perfect resource for teachers and students alike. ""I guess it doeslook like a poemwhen you see ittyped uplike 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.
