Old Yeller Perennial Classics Fred Gipson Steven Polson 9780060935474 Books Reviews

I got this book for my 13 year old son who doesn't like to read books, but when he started reading it, he got hooked on it and loved it. I also read it and loved it.
Profound tale of love and simple life from a bygone age. What an amazingly beautiful book. I am an avid reader, and am ashamed to say I first read this book at age 36. It's stunning. Im reading this with my son and have cried like a baby at several different parts and it feels like coming home to an innocence Id all but forgotten. There arent enough words to describe the immense beauty of this story. Perfect fair for my almost nine year old, and perfect for his mother too, who longs for a greater connection. It is quite simply, a masterpiece.
I am SO picky with the books that I read because I get so bored so quickly. This book starts off very slow, and not very good, but as you progress in the book, it gets so good. This book is such a classic must-read. It is my favorite book of all time!
What a marvelous story! Written primarily for teens and young adults in 1956 by Fred Gipson "Old Yeller" is a difficult book to categorize. On the one hand it's a Western novel about a family's efforts to build a homestead for themselves in the wilds of Post-Civil War Texas. On the other hand it's a "coming of age" story about a boy who's left in charge of the ranch, while Pa goes on a cattle drive to Kansas, and the stray dog that wanders into their lives and changes everything. Life on the frontier was hard and Gipson's narrative seems to offer a fresh look at the problems a family could face. With Pa away for most of the summer Travis and his mother must deal with the every day issues that crop up; harvesting their crops, tending the stock and dealing with local wildlife-- some of them dangerous, not to mention a half-wild little brother who is a real handful. The narrator of the story is Travis, as an older man looking back on the events of that fateful summer. Fred Gipson, the author, was born on a farm in the Texas Hill Country where he often worked as a farmer and rancher before attending college for a degree in journalism and becoming a full time writer, as a result much of the narrative is based on his personal, first hand, experience. I like Gipson's writing style, it's graphic without being overly violent, reminds me of Will James and Zane Gray. This is a great book that also made a classic Disney movie with the same title. If you're looking for exciting novel about a boy and his dog in an old-west setting, well "Old Yeller" just might be the ticket. I had no downloading or technical problems with this edition.

This is a classic from my childhood. I had to buy it for my son's reading assignment in school, but I could not help picking it up and reading it while he was asleep. Classic story which will play well with boys, at least from my perspective, but I suspect anyone who has fond memories of life on a farm with a dog as a child will like the book, too.

The violence in the book is the normal violence one would expect from encountering wild animals (hogs). I never found it disturbing and neither did my son.
I saw the movie many years ago and figured why not read the book? A wonderful boy and his dog story, easily read in one sitting. Classic.
My 11 year old son read the book, watched the movie, and then compared the two. He did a wonderful book report, and has read the book several times since.
