The whole book is Jack’s responses to what they’ve read or listened to in class and sometimes his replies back to Mrs. Stretchberry, introduces the class to some famous poems and has them write responses to it in blank verse and then write their own versions of the poems they’ve enjoyed.
Love That Dog is about Jack, whose teacher, Mrs. I fell in love with Sharon Creech when I listened to Walk Two Moons on CD two summers ago and these two books have renewed my fervent fandom. They are terrific books even if you think you won’t like a book written in poetry.
But I loved Love That Dog and Hate That Cat. I read Out Of The Dust when it came out and if the story hadn’t creeped me out so much, I probably still wouldn’t have been a big fan since the blank verse just did not appeal to me. I am not much of a book-written-in-verse fan.
