Love That Dog
Oh, this was SUCH a good book. Short and very sweet. I can picture Jack and his teacher and his classroom, and his yellow dog, and it is so amazing that Creech made me see and feel so much with in such a deceptively simple way. "Simple" because it is short, but "deceptive" because there is so much depth, both to the feelings and the language.I was having a very bad no-good kind of day, and this book (a) made me cry but at the same time (b) made me feel better.Loved it.
