Love The Dog

Love That Dog by Sharon Creech

This book is quite a quick read and starts off with a little boy named Jack with his frustrations to write. His responses to his teacher are what make up this book and interestingly enough it is quite easy to follow with only one side of the conversation each time. He finally finds a poem he greatly enjoys and because of this he is able to better focus his writing about his dog. Although he states in the beginning that "boys don't write poetry, girls do!" he finds a love and pleasure in writing his own poetry.
