I Love This Book!
Love That Dog by Sharon Creech
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jack's discovery of poetry and first author crush on Walter Dean Myers is so adorable, I had to give it five stars. I love the line about "that Mr. Robert Frost" having "too much time on his hands" because he wrote about woods and pastures. Also, the bit about the spellchecker being the "little helper brain" inside the computer is awesome (and so true.) There's a super sad part toward the end that I could have done without, but c'est la vie.
