The poetic format gives the story a unique rhythm and charm. I'm curious whether this choice was to make the story feel more personal or to emphasize certain emotions.

The animal characters felt so real and full of personality. It made me wonder how Creech decided which traits to give each animal and how much of it was based on real animals.

The verse format seems perfect for capturing the fleeting, whimsical nature of childhood. Did the structure help convey those feelings more effectively than prose might have?
