Creech, Sharon. (2001). Love that dog. New York. Henry Hold & Co.
Love That Dog by Sharon Creech is a wonderful story written in free verse journal entries about a reluctant poet named Jack. He doesn't like poetry and doesn't want anything to do with it, but throughout the story his teacher is able to encourage him to find his voice. He discovers that he really likes Walter Dean Myers and ends up inviting him to school. This story will make you laugh and cry. It is a must read for boys who think that poetry is just for girls.
