I read an amazing narrative poetry book called Love That Dog and it touched my heart when I finished the book.  I could read it over and over.  I’m really looking forward to reading Hate That Cat, the sequel.  I loved this book because I couldn’t stop reading until the sad end and finally found out what happened.  If I were the author, I would change what happens to Jack’s dog, Sky, because it’s so depressing.  I would have solved the problem by protecting Sky better.  My favorite part was when Jack wrote such a great poem that was inspired by Walter Dean Myers, a real poet!  A JUICY word to describe this book is heart-warming because when something horrible happened to Sky, Mrs. Stretchberry, Jack’s teacher, shows the reader the inspirational poem Jack made and it was so charming.  It made me feel better about that sad feeling.  Now, go check out Love That Dog in the library or buy it at the bookstore!
