Anyone who likes to read poetry would like this book! "Love That Dog" is a book about a boy who hates to do poetry and thinks poetry is only for girls. he thinks any words in short lines is poetry. After a while Jack decides to write a poem about an old dog he used to have. Jack is a boy who obviously doesn't like to write poetry. He also worries a lot and doesn't like his name on the board if it's his poetry at school where he is mostly at all times.
My connection with this book is that I like to read poetry but don't like to write it, just like Jack. I kind of liked this book because the topic really didn't grab me like other books I have read but I still enjoyed the time to read it.
I loved this book! Now I want to read Sharon Creech's other book Hate That Cat! :)

"Hate that Cat" was just as good as "Love That Dog".
