(2) 4-6 Narrator Jack (Love That Dog) continues to address Miss Stretchberry in free verse, exploring what makes a real poem. A kitten he gets for Christmas provides the book's dramatic tension when it disappears; Jack also reveals gradually that his mother is deaf. This volume extends Creech's attempt to make poetry something children can appreciate as part of daily life.
