Love That Dog by Sharon Creech. 112 p. HarperCollins Publishers, July, 2001.
#tbt features Love That Dog by Sharon Creech. This slim, emotionally resonant verse novel was published in July 2001. It is Jack's poetry journal. He's in Miss Stretchberry's fifth grade class and not at all happy to have to be keeping a journal or writing poetry!
I don't want to
because boys
I don't want to
because boys
don't write poetry.
Girls do.
Over the course of the year, Miss Stretchberry shares a variety of poems with her students and Jack writes in his joural - grudgingly at first. Gradually, he finds his voice.
I adore this book and its companion, Hate That Cat. Love That Dog was short-listed for the Carnegie Medal, won the Christopher Award, multiple state book awards and was named an ALA Notable book.
