Publisher's Summary
With a fresh and deceptively simple style, acclaimed author Sharon Creech tells a story with enormous heart. Written as a series of free-verse poems from Jack's point of view, Love That Dog shows how one boy finds his own voice with the help of a teacher, a writer, a pencil, some yellow paper, and of course...a dog.

"Love that book..."
If you could sum up Love That Dog in three words, what would they be?love that book :)
What other book might you compare Love That Dog to and why?Can't think of anything other than Crash by Spinelli and The Tiger Rising by DiCamillo because the main characters seem like they could be the same kid.
Have you listened to any of Scott Wolf’s other performances before? How does this one compare?no
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?yes
Any additional comments?I teach small groups and they all were interested and glad to be able to hear it all in one sitting. It was also used later for a whole class listen and discussion.

"fun short read."
What made the experience of listening to Love That Dog the most enjoyable?Scott Wolf does a fantastic job! While the story doesn't have much of a plot, I was entertained the whole way through.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Love That Dog?There are many memorable points throughout this story, since it's sort of about a young school boy learning about himself and becoming an author ... the most memorable point is probably near the end...
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?Yes.
Any additional comments?I didn't come away with any particular "inspiration" from this story, nor find it an enthralling; but it is still worth the read if you're looking for a short simple story for entertainment.

"Quirky, fun, and effective"
This fun little book made me thankful for teachers like the fictional Mrs. Stretchberry who inspire their students. Scott Wolf's narration is perfect and really helps make it work.
