LEXILE rating for Love That Dog is 1010. Hate That Cat was given the NP (Non-Prose) code.
This year we read aloud Hate That Cat during our fifth grade poetry unit. Loved it, too.
These books make poetry accessible to elementary students who couldn't be any further removed from the work of the poets that they are forced to read and analyze on standardized state tests. It makes sense to help them to connect with poetry in a way that they can relate to.
