«Hou van die hond» is Sharon Creech's verse novel, published by Uitgeverij Hoogland & Van Klaveren in hardcover (90 pages, in Dutch).
Jack thinks poetry is not for boys, but his teacher insists the class write poems. Gradually, and almost without noticing, he finds his own words and dedicates his best verses to his dog Sprint. That exercise lets him name his emotions and discover that expressing himself can be revealing.
Dutch translation of «Love That Dog» by Michèle Bernard. Zilveren Griffel Award 2007. First installment of the Jack series.
The work is aimed at young readers and lovers of poetry and dogs, with a relatable story about the value of expressing what one feels.
