Today's post is about a book. It does not have to do with a sled dog. But it has to do with a dog. I'm sure a lot of you have heard of "Old Yeller." It is about Travis, a pioneer boy, who's father has left with other men to hunt for the township. He has just lost a good dog and is sad. But then Old Yeller comes along and sparks adventure.
It's sure to trick tears and is for ten and up but I read it in 2nd grade. But yeah, that's "Old Yeller" without any spoilers. I recomend it. I like the book because it has great descriptions and is a very good story line. It was written by Fred Gibson who has wrote Curly and the Wild Bear, Little Arliss, and Savage Sam.
There is also a movie which I'm sure you've seen. I haven't seen it so I can't give you much detail but I'm sure it's good. My mom did see it though. When she saw it she cried like a baby.
Oh yeah, you don't want to watch "Old Yeller" without a few tissues handy. There's something much more moving about seeing the story unfold as opposed to reading about it. There are some things you can't un-watch, Ian, remember that! ^_^
ReplyDeleteOh man, I cried for days. I didn't even know there was a book.
