 Love
That Dog

Boys
don’t like poetry! Girls do. At least that’s what
Jack thinks before he meets Miss Stretchberry. How will his journal
and his poetic expression help him to talk about the giant that is bothering
him? Will poetry release a new power in him?**

| "I read Love
That Dog last night, and I really liked it. I'm going
to try something with the students this year. I'm going
to share poetry with them each day and then have them write in
a poetry journal (spiral) in response to it. That's the
same thing that Jack's teacher did (it seems). Hopefully
they will get inspired to write poems. I just wanted you
to know how much I liked it. I'm inspired to make time for
poetry and I'm looking forward to reading and responding to the
student's journals." Cassie Mitchell, Clear Fork Elementary School |
