Love That Dog

'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.

A ground-breaking novel about a boy's growing interest in poetry and the power of learning to find your voice and tell your own story, by Carnegie-medal winning author Sharon Creech.
