My child came home from school completely enamored by this book. When I read it with him, I was hooked as well. I'm not a professional reviewer like so many others here, but I am a mom who has read countless books with her kids. And this one is outstanding. What I love about this book is that it covertly introduces poetry to kids. And it hooks them by introducing them to what I'm going to call "mind benders" like "The Red Wheelbarrow." It's also written like a response journal. I'm so thrilled that the dots are not connected here, that you have to think and infer and create the missing parts of the narrative. I also love that it introduces poetry to kids in a non-threatening way. (The main character doesn't understand some poems and writes "honestly" about that in his journal.) I found my child completely agreeing -- what DOES the poem about the red wheelbarrow and the white chickens mean??? The author brilliantly includes the poems she references (the back of the book) so you can read them while/after reading the book itself. I cannot say enough great things about this book.

This is a lovely book written in a very long poetic form instead of a narrative story . The topic is so sentimental and spot on relatable to any pet owner that feels that feels very much attached to his /her choicicezz
Sharon Creech's Love That Dog is both a story in poetry and a story about poetry. The main character, Jack, thinks poems are for girls, and when his teacher, Ms. Stretchberry, wants to put his poems on the board he asks her not to put his name on them. His teacher reads many poems by different poets throughout the year; eventually, Jack reads a poem by Mr. Walter Dean Myers that inspires him, and he learns to express his feelings about his beloved dog Sky.

Love That Dog is an inspirational book because it teaches you that it's okay to write poetry about how you feel. Young adults who want to explain their emotions and thoughts can read this book and be inspired, just like Jack. Don't tell yourself that you can't do something (like write a poem) until you actually try.

This poetry book is better than The Dream Keeper by Langston Hughes and is as good as Whisper and Shout edited by Patrice Vecchione. We recommend it!
Read it to my fifth grade class to talk about poetry. Boys and girls liked this book and having the talked about famous poem was great!
These is a great book to use for teaching poetry. I have such a fondness for it myself that I read it every time I notice it in my reading queue.
I'm a mom, grandmother, and a retired teacher. Initially I wanted to read this book to see if it would be something my granddaughter would like. I'm not sure so much that this is a younger kid's book. I loved it, though! It made me think of so many students I've worked with over the years, their fears and struggles and growth. You portrayed the stop and start, sometimes halting progress of learning a new thing followed by the joy of truly enjoying it in time. Thank you!
I am a teacher and first purchased this book at a book fair several years ago. I read this book aloud to my class and we were hooked after reading the first page. It's a cute, emotional story that everyone can enjoy. As a read aloud, plan on 3-4 days, depending on how much you have for reading. I actually read the entire book to my class in one day, I couldn't stop reading. Have a box of tissues present!
I read this amazing book for the first time a little over a year ago. I have subsequently read it to myself 2 more times, to my 9-year-old daughter once, and to my now 7-year-old daughter twice. Yea, we love it that much. This book is just meant to be read aloud and discussed. When we read it today, I read the daily diary part and my younger daughter read the poem excerpts as we came to them so we passed the book back and forth. So much fun! We both still cried when we reached May 14th. This is just literature at its finest. I cannot recommend this enough.
