Synopsis
The Newbery Medal-winning author of Walk Two Moons, Sharon Creech, brings readers a story with enormous heart. Love That Dog shows how one boy named Jack finds his voice with the help of a teacher, a pencil, some yellow paper, and of course, a dog. Written as a series of free-verse poems from Jack's point of view, and with classic poetry included in the back matter, this novel is perfect for kids and teachers, too. Jack hates poetry. Only girls write it and every time he tries to, his brain feels empty. But his teacher, Miss Stretchberry, won't stop giving her class poetry assignments--and Jack can't avoid them. But then something amazing happens. The more he writes, the more he learns that he does have something to say. "I guess it does look like a poem when you see it typed up like that.", The Newbery Medal-winning author of Walk Two Moons, Sharon Creech , brings readers a story with enormous heart.

    Happy day for me. This guy is a terrific eBay seller, and I saw how 'he cares' in every facet of the transaction. Quickly responded to a question I asked him via chat, and that made me confident. Package arrived today, on time, and had a very safe trip, because of the extra layers of protection and wrapping. It's in perfect condition and exactly as described. The price he asked was totally fair. Check out his shop!

    A pair of brass candlestick holders: vintage, with painted enamel, floral design. Exceptional quality, beautiful workmanship, accurate description & a terrific value. (I'd expect to pay more for such fine artistry!) I commend the careful packing, service, communication & reliable shipping too. A transaction that exceeded my expectations! I endorse this Seller & their unique selection.
