Old Yeller is a heartwarming story that makes you want to cry in sadness and amazement each time you read it. A dog that was dirty and a thief, but he has a heart 100 times bigger than the Grinch’s heart. This book is about a young boy named Travis that was the man of his house while his father was in Kansas for the harvest. His mom said he desperately needed a dog to help him. He found this dog that saved his brother and him from something pretty much everyday. My favorite part of the book was when Travis and his family were wondering how the dog was eating. Food was disappearing all across the town. It turns out that Old Yeller was stealing food off of tables and counters. He was fat and happy for a couple of weeks. I loved this book and you will to if you want to read a heartwarming story of a poor dog that is misunderstood but can still find a loving home. By Barry K. ======

When a yellow Mongrel comes for an uninvited stay with the family, Travis reluctantly adopts the dog. After a series of misfortune involving raccoons, snakes, bears and a lot of other animals, Travis grows to love this animal although can the love last? My favorite part of the book was when Old Yeller saved the family many times from a series of misfortune. I recommend this book to anyone that has a feeling or connection to dogs and loves their own pet. By Michael J.   My book review was on the book by Fred Gibson, Old Yeller. It was about a small boy named, Travis from the Texas Plains who becomes the man of the house when his father takes a long trip to a far away city. Later on in the book, Travis discovers a dog that he names, Old Yeller. Soon, the two tough and brave cowboys make truce and Yeller becomes a hero and companion to Travis and his family. The book, Old Yeller was a very interesting book but could have some improvements. My point is that it had a lot of conflicts and resolutions but it was different every chapter. For a book to have really great organization, it must have conflicts and resolutions that start in one chapter and continue in another. Old Yellerhad chapters that had one thing in there and the next chapter it would be a whole different story. Otherwise, this is still a very fascinating book to read. By Steven S   Old Yeller by Fred Gipson is an incredible tale about courage, trust, and how a dog is actually man's real best friend. The main character is Travis who lives on the plains of Texas in the 1860's. When Travis's dad leaves his family to go on a cattle drive, he leaves Travis to take care of his dear mother and kid brother. A couple of days after his father's departure, a yellow or yeller dog shows up unexpectedly. At first Travis dislikes the dog because it is wild, dirty and it stole some of the meat that the family ha sitting. Travis wanted to kick the dog and get rid of it, but his kid brother defended the dog because he had always wanted a dog. Travis's perspective about Old Yeller changed drastically when Old Yeller defended his brother from a charging bear when his brother was holding onto the momma bears cub. For the rest of the story, Old Yeller and Travis became very close to each other and each one defended each other. Later on in the story, their true friendship is fully put to the test when Travis must decide to protect his best friend or give up the safety of his own family. My favorite part of Old Yeller is when Old Yeller defends Travis from the attacking hogs. I would recommend this story to people who love a story that shows the virtues of true friendship, compassion, and pure love. This book is also good for the kind of people who like a tense action and adventure book. Old Yeller is undeniably an incredible book. By Frank A.  

This award-winning book, //Old Yeller,// shares an adventurous, “edge of your seat” story starring a boy named Travis that happens to find a sloppy dog with his ear half chewed off and with a dull yellow (yeller as they called it). He hates him at first, but starts to build a relationship. Within that relationship is danger, adventure, and love. In the book, Travis faces many dangers with his partner Old Yeller. They must fight off bears, hogs, heard cows, and more. My favorite part of the book which explains a lot of Old Yeller’s character is when he saves Travis from being killed by angry hogs. He takes most of the damage and almost dies. If you like action and adventure, this is the book for you. I would also recommend people who love animals.

Old Yeller by Fred Gipson is a fictional adventurous book about a boy named Travis. Travis finds a dog in a trashcan, and he names him Old Yeller. Old Yeller protected Arliss and Travis on multiple occasions. Travis and Yeller got hurt pretty badly trying to protect each other. Travis got a hog-cut on the leg, and he also got a belly-wound. My favorite parts were when Travis’ friend Lisbeth gave Arliss a blue tick pup, and when Yeller saved Lisbeth and Arliss from a sick bull. I recommend this book to anybody who likes dogs, adventure, and fiction.

// Old Yeller // was written by Fred Gipson in 1956. It is still a classic today because of the marvelous writing and the way it brings out emotions. Old Yeller is an old stray dog that lives with Travis and his family. At first Travis doesn’t like Old Yeller, but he changes his mind when he protects the family and helps Travis hunt. Even though Old Yeller may not seem like much, he means the world to Travis and his family. My favorite part of the book is when Old Yeller saves Little Arliss from the she bear. He did by distracting the bear so Mama could get Arliss to safety. If you like being outdoors doing things like hunting and fishing, and if you have a sensitive side, this is a great book for you. I would recommend this book to people who like animal stories. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
