Love that dog - Sharon Creech

Slowly Jack learns the pleasures of writing poetry as Miss Stretchberry encourages him to tell his own story through verse. What emerges is a moving and memorable story about a boy and his dog and his growing passion for poetry.

'A touching account of a boy's new-found love of poetry. Readers can't fail to be affected by this lovely tale.'
The Guardian

'This is a book so quirky and original that it defies categorisation'
The Guardian

Love That Dog is like nothing else you've ever read: a story in poetry but a lot more than that, too - life-enhancing and the perfect stocking-filler.'
Adle Geras, Financial Times

'an extraordinary hybrid between a novel and a poem' 'It is funny, original, moving - and short.'
Independent on Sunday
