This is such a great novel that really dissects poetry and not only helps define it but helps identify it in a new way. Originally, the boy identifies poetry with a stigma attached to it. He thinks only girls write poetry and all of the words must fit perfectly in place. It is a creative story with beautiful poetry! This book really makes you think outside of the box.
Another great thing about this is a book is that it can suit all ages, child or adult! I love how everything fits so nicely together. Our classroom activity was very helpful in creating color and personality to this book! The chance to act it out changed my perspective on ways to make a poem come alive. I realized that it doesn’t just have to come from one reader. Sometimes it can be read by a group working together to craft animation from a variety of imaginations. I love that dog and I love this book!
