Creech, S. (2001). Love that dog. New York: Harper Collins.
Love That Dog is a book set in poetry and prose from the point of view of a young boy, Jack, whose assignments are apparently poetry in nature based on various poems read in class by the teacher. Jack is a somewhat reluctant, insecure writer, but as the story progresses through the words of the boy, the reader is informed of details from the poems read in class. Also, as the story unfolds, Walter Dean Myers becomes a key figure through his inspiration to Jack and eventually visits the school. Love That Dog is written in a unique way that rather quickly and with a relatively few words, reveals multiple themes and details of the story.
