Relation Toward Books Love That Dog (Jack #1)

I don’t want to

Because boys

Don’t write poetry.

Girls do.



First page, first poem.
Makes me smile
But also makes me kinda
Sad.
Do words in poem form
Make you sad?
I hope not
but I
Understand,
if it does.

Love That Dog takes less than 3 minutes to read. Okay, maybe a bit more if you’re on your 4th glass of Sangria (but who’s counting) and you linger on phrases. Phrases like:

‘and jumping on me
his shaggy straggly paws
on my chest
like he was trying
to hug the inside
right out of me’

Poems, PO-EMS. They are not so easy to write. They look easy but try putting a whole bunch of words in short sentences and make them make someone else feel something. Go on. But, remember that people will REALLY judge you because poetry can be pretentious and there’s extra pressure on you to be all like ‘she walks in beauty like the night’ or ‘I want a love like me thinking of you thinking of me thinking of you type love..’

I am scared.
I couldn’t do it
Even this attempt
Is lame.

But, I was lucky to know a poet, and was lucky to read his words. His voice had the right cadence, the exact urgency , the strength to leave you breathless and make you ache.

All alone in triplets I think about her laugh, even if I’m sad
All alone I justify our secret world and could tell the nay sayers to
Leave her alone i am no monster

In prayers i disbelieve i asked for you to come

Maybe my or god’s will

Maybe a cessation of thinking when it comes to the enemy when i hide
In my foxhole would be a good idea


Jack is lucky to have a Miss Stretchberry. Everyone should have their very own. One that can give them worlds created by Frost and Blake and also William Carlos Williams among other amazing poets. Thank you, Sharon Creech, for giving us Jack. I used to always ask my poet ‘but what does it mean?’ and he used to say ‘it doesn’t really matter does it? How do you feel?’

It takes an fierce will and a tremendous heart to be a poet.
This book has both.

Criticize Appertaining To Books Love That Dog (Jack #1)

A very very short book full of simple poems written from a 7 y/o's POV. I came across this book one day when I was really bored and had nothing to read. Reluctant to pick it up as it's a children's book, I didn't read it until I was desperate for something to do to past time. This is a quick book that can also help you accomplish your Reading Challenge. Aside from that, it was fun to return to simple language and just enjoy it. The poems were short but beautiful. However, it can let you feel.

i am lovingreading this bookbecause it's writtenin free verseand i write like thattoo. i am reading itwith my cousinwho's in fifth gradefor hersummer readingand i thinki like itmore than she does. it's a funny, lovelybookabout poetryand i hopeall the childrenin the worldhave a teacherlike Miss Stretchberrywho makesthemfall in lovewithpoetry. ilovethisbook.

I love this book, it could be a great book to read before starting a poetry unit to get out all those frustrations and worries. Love the plot, the format, the messages, love it all. More like love that book... right...?

I like how Jack and his dad adopt a dog from a shelter/dog pound. Jack and his dog both had a great time together. It's really heartbreaking when his dog died and Jack no longer wants to have another pet because of the trauma he got from losing one. The short and bittersweet poem he wrote, in the end, is like a memorial for his dog.

Usually when I think of poems, I think of deep meaning text that has a secret behind the words. I liked this book, but I dont think it made those expectations. However, it was still a great book that I recommend to most!

Love that dog was a great poetry book. It would be a good poetry read for people who don't read poetry a lot or don't like poetry because it has an easy concept. It was easy to follow along with and it was a great read for me. I normally don't like poetry book and I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. The story to this book was very simple but it was fun to follow along with and was easy to keep track of.

This was neither good story telling, nor good poetry writing. The poems mentioned, though, were great. (Robert Frost! Love him)
