Media Reviews
'A touching account of a boy's new-found love of poetry. Readers can't fail to be affected by this lovely tale.' The Guardian 'This is a book so quirky and original that it defies categorisation' The Guardian Love That Dog is like nothing else you've ever read: a story in poetry but a lot more than that, too - life-enhancing and the perfect stocking-filler.' Adele Geras, Financial Times 'an extraordinary hybrid between a novel and a poem' 'It is funny, original, moving - and short.' Independent on Sunday
