Love That Dog

Description

This wonderful story of Jack, Miss Stretchberry and a poetry class is impossible to pigeonhole. It’s a novel, it’s poetry, it’s a diary and an anthology — it’s for children, adults, dog-owners, poetry-lovers, teachers, students or just about anybody. Publishers’ Weekly in the US called it “an ingenious homage to the power of poetry and those who write it”. NZ’s National Radio reviewer said: “Love that book!”
