Summary: A wonderful dog story book!
Review: I just finished Fred Gipson's book Old Yeller, and it was excellent. I liked this book because it tells how Travis didn't like Old Yeller at first but then Old Yeller shows it was a good idea to keep him. I would highly recommend this book to anyone. If you read Hound Dog Man you will love this book. This is a great book, you can't wait to find out what happens next. I hope you will enjoy this book as much as I did. If you are looking for a good dog story, try old yeller.

Summary: Old Yeller
Review: What made me choose this book is the movie. I saw the movie and I really liked it so I thought the book would be good too.What I thought the book would be about is a boy and his dog doing things together like hunting. I felt sad for Old Yeller, Travis, Arliss, and Ma because of what happend. The book was what I expected it to be. I still feel the same about the book.
The main characters in the story are Old Yeller, Travis, Arliss, and Ma. It takes place in the late 1860's, in Birdsong Creek in the hills of Texas. When Pa goes away to Abline,Kansas to give cattle to the market for money, while Travis, Arliss and Ma are left to take care of things. One night this old yeller dog ate some meat of theirs and Travis got real mad at him. Little Arliss wanted to keep him and he got to because Travis had a dog when he was younger. One day when Arliss gets into a dangerous situtation with a bear Old Yeller saves him. After that Travis likes old Yeller better. Later they start doing things together and become best friends until one day changes it all. The type of book that this is is a historical fiction. These things could happen in real life but they didn't. The author of this book is Fred Gipson. I found the book exicting because of all the things that happen ,like the bear attack, and I found it sweet too because Old Yeller would do anything to help and protect the family. I would recomend the book to other readers because it's a good book. The age group that I think is approite for this book it ages eight and up. If you like exicting books this is the one for you!

Summary: Review from a reading teacher
Review: Old Yeller is a wonderful read aloud or a great novel to teach in the classroom. I would recommend it for 5th, 6th, or 7th grades. My students come into the room begging to read more daily. It is always a favorite with my students, and its family values and lessons are timeless. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Old Yeller
Review: The book labeled as "Old Yeller" is a great, terrific, and outstanding book to read. It is also pretty much sad.
It's about a really close freindship between a 14 year old boy named Travis and a Golden Retriver named Old Yeller. At the very beggining of the story Travis doesn't like Old yeller, until Travis realizes that all Old Yeller tried to do was help Travis and his family.
In the middle part of the story Travis becomes nicer to old yeller. But towards the end Old Yeller dies because of a disease and Travis regrets it because of the way he treated Old Yeller.
I reccomend for you to read it because it teaches you not to take things for granted.

Summary: OLD YELLOW YELLER
Review: Old Yeller is a delightful story about a boy and his dog. The ending is so gut-wrenching. The subject may be overrused, but nevertheless, this story about the adventures a boy has with his mangy mutt, is a great read for everyone.

Summary: A Beautiful Story About Life and Dog Love
Review: ...The story of Travis and his family's life in Texas as early settlers is a sharp contrast to life today. But the love for the dog that adopts a family is contemporary. The story of Travis, Old Yeller and his family is told in a colloquial voice of the time. Read it...and be prepared to cry.

Summary: Listen up you readers, read this book, it's amazing!
Review: Listen up you readers, buy this book and read it--it’s outstanding! I think you should read Old Yeller. I would rate this book a 10 on a scale from 1 to 10. This book is well recommended for adventurous readers such as myself. The genre I think would be is realistic historical fiction. What I like about how the author made the story interesting is by making you want to read more and more and more. It makes you want to read it over and over again or more than once because it was so good. It is educational about history so if you’re a teacher you should read it to your students to teach them how it was back that far in history.

Summary: Old Yeller "BEST DOGONE DOG"
Review: My assignment was to write about my opinion of Old Yeller and reasons why. I really liked this book. So I would rate it a 4. One reason why I like Old Yeller is because of the action such as the rampaging, destructive bull fight. Another, such as the javelina stampede that would have killed Travis and Old Yeller but they both survived. One more event comes up and that is the dog and the wolf fight. Travis had to be careful not to shoot Old Yeller. I sure hope that all of these reasons helped you know why I liked this book. There was one exception: I didn't make it a 5. That is it needed a little more action.
