Jack Room 105 -- Miss Stretchberry September 13 I don't want to because boys don't write poetry. Girls do. Meet Jack, who tells his story with a little help from some paper,a pencil, his teacher, and a dog named Sky. Love That Dog is the story of Jack, hisdog, his teacher, and words. The story develops through Jack’sresponses to his teacher, Miss Stretchberry, over the course of aschool year. At first, his responses are short and cranky: “I don’twant to” and “I tried. Can’t do it. Brain’s empty.” But as histeacher feeds him inspiration, Jack finds that he has a lot to sayand he finds ways to say it. Jack becomes especially fond of a poemby Walter Dean Myers titled “Love That Boy,” and it is this poemthat gives Jack a way to tell the story of his beloved dog,Sky.
