Love that Dog


This book is written in free verse and tells the story of a school aged boy who doesn't get free verse poetry. It is written as a one sided exchange between him and his teacher as she challenges him to understand some notable poems by famous poets. She slowly builds up his courage to share some of the poetry he has written with his class, although with the promise it remain nameless.


He ends up writing in free verse about a dog he acquired at the shelter. After the story's conclusion each of the referenced poems are shared with the reader.
