Love that Dog

That last semester I became obsessed with a book by Sharon Creech called Love that Dog. She's a wonderful young reader's author and it's such a cute story about Jack's journey through his poetry unit. I was able to find the follow up book to it called, Hate that Cat and it's just as good! There was an awesome poem at the end of the book written by Jack himself...

THIS IS JUST TO SAY

I will listen
for you

I will hear
all the sounds
in the world

all the
delicious
ineffable
effable
sounds

all the
thrumming
and
humming

and
tintinnabulating
sounds

I will hear
all the sounds
in the
world

and I will write them down
so you
can
hear
them
too.
