It is written as a series of free-verse poems by a boy who finds his own voice with the help of a teacher, a writer, a pencil, some yellow paper, and of course, a dog. Forced to keep a journal as a class assignment, Jack is initially resistant to the idea of writing poetry. However, inspired by such authors as Robert Frost and Walter Dean Myers, he discovers that he enjoys creating poetry and even begins to try out different poetic styles. Many of Jack's poems tell of the wonderful relationship he shared with his pet dog Sky and allow him to mourn Sky's death while still celebrating his life and the love they shared.    In the sequel \"Hate That Cat,\" Jack is once again studying poetry with, and keeping a journal for, his teacher, Miss Stretchberry. Here, in his own free-verse poetry, Jack is able to express his feelings about his family life, his changing relationship with a good friend, and his problems with a rather grouchy neighbourhood feline.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43663391260732,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/fr\/products\/love-that-dog-hate-that-cat-set-of-2-books-paperback-21977","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
