Love that dog

"Love that dog" from Sharon Creech is about a boy named Jack who was the kind of boy that doesn't play along the rules. He doesn't want to write poetry because he thought that only girls do that, but one day, his teacher Miss StretchBerry made her class write a poem about their pets; but Jack refused to. At last, his dog Sky died and so he wrote a poem about sky to show how much he loves his dog, and he handed in the poem as the homework at the same time.

What is so interesting about his book is about how Jack strongly refused to write poems and how Mr. Walter Deans Myers tried to inspire Jack at first; and after Sky died Jack finally realized how poems could express his feelings. The cool part about the ending of the book is that it ends with the poem that Jack dedicated to his dog. Even though the poem was only 35 words, but it really did express the love of Jack to his dog, it honestly touched my heart.
