A young student, Jack comes to love poetry through a personal understanding of what different famous poems mean to him, surprises himself by writing his own inspired poem.
Love That Dog is a free verse poetry book that will appeal to older elementary students, especially boys who will connect with the main character, Jack. It may also appeal to students who are not strong readers as the short poetry excerpts may seem less intimidating to those readers.
Creech has written many books, including Walk Two Moons, Ruby Holler and Bloomability. The other books are all written in narrative, unlike Love That Dog but they all feature adolescent characters embarking on personal journeys in which they learn more about themselves.
