" Test - i love this book "

" This book is a little young for me, but I am a proud owner of it and I still read it from time to time. I love reading all the famous poems, as well as seeing what Jack thinks of them. Sharon Creech was the bomb back in 4th/5th/6th grade. "

" I'm not that into poetry, but I like the unconventional poems that are written in this book. "

" It Was Okay.... I Guess "

" Sweet quick read about a reluctant poet who grows to love the stuff and even helps get a famous writer to come visit his class. Best part is that it's written in verse. Worst part is... well, there's a death. (Why?! Ugh!) "

" I like this book because it is very funny and the protagonist,Jack,exhibits a huge character change. "

" this is the book before hate that cat i love this one too it is a little bit sad but a good fast book to read if thats what you are looking for "

" This could be a good book to use when teaching poetry. The main character Jack tells about poems and is inspired by the poems he reads. The story is a short easy read and not much happens, but it does open up opportunity for dialogue about poems. "

" I loved the book but it was also sad because it remindid me of my dog and i would reccomend this book to poetry lovers!!!!! "

" Almost a perfect book about a boy, a dog, poetry, and Walter Dean Myers. I have to buy about 15 to give to friends. And if you are reading this you will be getting one. "

" ive read this book so many times "

" Read this for mother/daughter book club with Harper. VERY quick read. Story told through poetry of a young student and through it he learns to appreciate poems and what they can say about a person and the world around him. "

" I love this. I cried. Every time I read this. Yet again, another childish book. I love childish books. You should read it. It's amazing. :) "

" I love prose for my lower students, because it is easier for them to digest and they feel like they are making real progress on a novel. This is a great book for any reader, especially lower readers (I especially love the Walter Dean Myers plug!). "

" what a great book! i love how it is a boook of poams but telling only one story!:) "

" I grew up with dogs. I am not a dog person. That said read with tissues how ever old you are and no matter what type of animal person you are. "

" ... <br/>you think about it <br/>and <br/>think about it <br/>and <br/>think about it <br/>until your brain <br/>feels like <br/>a squashed pea. "

" Great story told in a minimilistic way through poetry. Through his poetry Jack is able to deal with his dog's death. Very enjoyable and a very fast read. Currently reading HATE THAT CAT. It is written in the same style with Jack one year older. "

" This is a beautiful story of a boy and his dog told through poetry. "

" I feel a little strange giving this and the Steinbeck book both 4 stars, but there it is. The Pearl is 4 stars because I should(intellectually) and the Creech book made me cry. And I love Walter Dean Myers too! "

" Really lovely story (sort of) about a boy learning to appreciate and write his own poetry. Recommended for everyone. "

" This really neat book is written like a poem. It is a boys entries every day as he is writing. It really shows the fears he has and the progression of his writing as his confidence grows. "
