I read Love That Dog by Sharon Creech. I really like this book, it's probably one of my favorite books, even though it's a very easy read. It's about a elementary school boy who has to write poems in a journal as an assignment. He doesn't like to write poems, so he hates the assignment. Jack writes, 
"September 13
 I don't want to
 because boys don't write poetry
Girls do."
In a lot of his poems he writes about his yellow dog. I thought one of the poems about his dog was really sad because I always imagine my dog as the dog in the book. By the end of the book he has more enthusiasm towards poetry. I think this is a great book.
