Summary: I've Seen Better
Review: Love That Dog by Sharon Creech is written in a poetry form. Normally I would enjoy that type of story, but the poetry was a little dry. The reason I think that is because when I was reading the book I constontly thought of ways to say things that would make the story more interesting without changeing the plotline. If you were to read this book, the story is about a boy who hates poetry. Later his teacher teaches him to enjoy poetry. If you would like to read a book in the format in poetry I would reccomend Witness, by Walter Dean Myers.

Review: This book will touch your heart everytime you look at it. I just read it recently with my 6th grade reading class and it touched my heart. I almost cried when his dog got hit by a car. I suggest you read this because it is a book that most of us can relate to,because most of us know someone who has lost a dog to a car,or maybe your that person.Anyway I suggest you read this book.

Summary: Bad poetry = bad book.
Review: What a bad book. The "poetry" is terrible, the kissup to Walter Dean Myers bizarre (does the author owe him a favor?), and basically the "lesson" is that any kid can learn to copy someone else's poems practically verbatim and be bad.Jacqueline Woodson's LOCOMOTION is much, much better.

Review: Love that dog is a great book.It is about Jack, a kid who hates poetry.But he starts to like it and stuff.I like the line: I don't want to,
Cause boys don't
write poetry. Girls do. and i think this line is very weird: And he was laying
there all funny
i picked him up
and he
closed his eyes
and
never
opened
them
up
again. Great book. READ IT NOW!!!!!

Review: ~*LOVE THAT DOG*~ Love that dog is about poems, and only poems. You would think it was about dog, because of the title but its not, I thought it was about dogs so I got it, but its not at all about dogs, It's hard to follow because it's written in poetry writing. It's very boring. And also that it only about hundred pages, and its really easy to read. In conclusion, if you don't like poems then don't check this book out if you do like poems then go ahead.

Summary: Love That Dog
Review: Love that dog is nothing about dogs what so ever, and I thought that it was going to be all about dogs. This book is about Poems. I would have never read it if the cover never said Love That Dog. This book is hard to follow because it written in poems and it is really boring and does not interest me at all. I think that if the poems were about dogs then I might have read it?
Another things that I thought was that it is are easy to read because it only had 100 pages. Some other things I know about the book is that it switches from poems to poems. I am just trying to let you know that this book is about poems. If you like dogs then this would not be the book for you to read. In conclusion I do not recommend this book unless you like poems.

Review: ~*~Love that dog~*~
Love that dog isn't about dogs at all. It is just a mix of poems/ all different boring poems. The book is too easy for kids our age. The cover has nothing to do with the poems in the book. The poems have nothing to do with dogs. if knew that the book didn't have anything to do with dogs I would have never read that book. I really recommend you not read this book unless you like mixed up poems. If the books were about dogs, I would recommend it to you, but it's not, so I think you should read the first poem before you check out the book.

Review: I Love That Dog
Love That Dog By: Sharon Creech
This book is about this boy who can't od poetry. He gets a dog,then it dies. then he can write poetry.
My favorite part in the book is when Jack first statrs poetry. He does't do very well. "Can't do it brain hurts." In the end Jack is a very good poet.
Everyone would like this book because it is eventful. Some events may be sad. Some events may be happy. Everyone should like it.
I'd give this book ten out of ten stars. This is the best book I've read.

Summary: Bring Poetry To Life.
Review: Most simply stated, LOVE THAT DOG is a book about poetry and a boy's love for his pet dog. However, it is more than that. The book uses poetry to tell the story of how one student grew to appreciate and love poetry through the helpful encouragement and advice of a dedicated teacher. The story is told completely through the perspective of the student, Jack, and is written in the poetic stanzas that he writes (almost always unbeknowingly). I really enjoyed reading this book and find it's is a great book to use to help get students interested in poetry.

Summary: Informative, touching and Clever
Review: I found this on Amazon and ordered sight unseen for my Grandsons 10 and 9 who don't particularly like to read period, poetry notwithstanding. Would rather be playing any type of ball. BUT they both have multiple dogs and have each lost a dog and love animals so I took a chance. The books arrived today, Dec. 24 and I love this book!!!! Two of my close friends have just in the recent past lost beloved pets of 13 years. They will be the next recipients of Love That Dog from me along with some English and Social Studies Teachers who also LOVE THEIR STUDENTS AND THEIR DOGS. Thank you Sharon Creech.
