Love That Dog is an endearing story of a young boy's experience learning about poetry in his class. Although Jack repeatedly says his words are not poems, Creech writes the entire story in verse and according to plot, Jack's teacher believes his words are poetry. I read this book again because it was recently brought up in conversation, but I remember one of my teachers reading Love That Dog to the class in elementary school. Jack is a relatable young boy and he ultimately tells quite a heartfelt story through his poetry. This time reading the book was possibly better than the first because I am more familiar now with the poems Jack reads in class and which he samples in his own writing.
