Love That Dog by Sharon Creech is a fun novel to read. It is written as a journal entry of a student named Jack. I thought it was a great book; you can tell that he is writing responses from comments from his teacher, Miss Stretchberry, throughout the story. Jack writes his entries so you can get a feel of what the teach writes. I think this is a good book to have students read because through his journal entries you can see that poems do not have to rhyme they can be just simple words written or typed on a page. This story shows Jack getting more and more confident in his writing throughout the story. I really enjoyed reading this quick read and feel that students would like to read it too. I think they could learn a lot from reading it about their writing, reading, or even observation of others writings.
