內容簡介: |
Jack
Room 105 -- Miss Stretchberry
September 13
I don''t want to
because boys
don''t write poetry.
Girls do.
Meet Jack, who tells his story with a little help from some paper,
a pencil, his teacher, and a dog named Sky.
Love That Dog is the story of Jack, his
dog, his teacher, and words. The story develops through Jack’s
responses to his teacher, Miss Stretchberry, over the course of a
school year. At first, his responses are short and cranky: “I don’t
want to” and “I tried. Can’t do it. Brain’s empty.” But as his
teacher feeds him inspiration, Jack finds that he has a lot to say
and he finds ways to say it. Jack becomes especially fond of a poem
by Walter Dean Myers titled “Love That Boy,” and it is this poem
that gives Jack a way to tell the story of his beloved dog,
Sky.
