Book Review on Where the Red Fern Grows

Where the Red Fern Grows

"I suppose there's a time in practically every young boy's life when he's affected by that wonderful disease of puppy love."
That is one of the first sentences in the exciting book, Where the Red Fern Grows! This book will grab your attention the moment you pick it up. You will never want to put it down! Where the Red Fern Grows is about a young, adventurous boy who is longing for two hunting dogs. The boy's name is Billy Coleman. The Coleman family does not have enough money to put aside to pay for two good hunting dogs. So, Billy decides to save his money up to buy his dogs hiself! It takes Billy two years! Once Billy has enough money, he travels to Tahlequah, a small country town (that is 20-32 miles away), to pick up his dogs. Billy trains his dogs and starts hunting. He names his female dog Little Anne and his male dog Old Dan. This heartwarming tale of adventure and friendship tells how this loving threesome ranges the dark hills and river bottoms of the Cherokee country while they go through ups of glory and victory to downs of sadness and grieve throughout their lives.
The characters in this story each have their own personalities. Billy Coleman has the will to train his dogs to be the finest hunting team in the valley. His female dog, Little Anne, is a fairly small dog that has the brains a hunting dog needs and his male dog, Old Dan, has the brawn a hunting dog needs. Together they are practically inseparable and they make an incredible team. These three main characters are very loving and adventurous.
The friendship in Where the Red Fern Grows shows the main theme. Billy and his dogs have to have friendship in order to be successful hunters. And, in order to have friendship, you have to be loyal. Where the Red Fern Grows shows a lot of friendship and loyalty, which helps make it a wonderful book.
The Colemans, Billy's family, live in a beautiful valley far back in the Ozarks. The land that they live on is called Cherokee land. Soil is rich, black, and fertile, with many roots of trees such as redwoods and dogwoods living in it along with lovely flowers and plants. Their home is full of wildlife and adventure. The setting in Where the Red Fern Grows can be very exciting!!!
People who are interested in books with action in it should read Where the Red Fern Grows! I also recommend this marvelous story
to kids in grade four through grade eight. Rawls really keeps you on your toes with this action-filled book! You just have to read it!

I still remember old dan and little anne

I will be 48 years old next month, and read this book when I was very young, middle school aged girl. I still reflect back on this story, it had such a huge effect on me. I remember the first time I read it, I must have cried for weeks after. The respect and the affection the author shows the dogs and the boy, the relationship between the three and the value each holds for the other. I believe this story will give light and a path to any young reader. I think it is an invaluable gift, to read a story and have that story remain in your mind and heart for many years to come.

Super Classic!

This is such a great read aloud. I read this to my children and even my three year old was able to sit and pay attention and know all the details of the story. We were sucked in from page one. I wanted to read it to my children because it's the book that was read to me in third grade by Mrs. Garroute and from that momment fostered my love for reading. I think it's so important to pass that on to our children and the only way to do that is to read them greats like this one. It's a must have for your family library!!!

One of the best out there

Coming of age story about a boy who trains two hunting dogs and the adventures they share. Well written story that keeps the reader's interest. Definitely on the list of mandatory reads for anyone.
