Summary
Love That Dog by Sharon Creech
Written as a collection of poems and journal entries, Love That Dog tells the change-of-heart story of Jack, a boy who grows to appreciate writing poetry in school after he encounters the right inspiration. This is an excellent book for supporting different reading levels because early readers will connect to the setting and emotions, and fluent readers will be challenged by the unique text structure.
