Summary: Where the Red Fern Grows
Review: I thought it was a pretty good book. It was a story of friendship and companionship, with a comprehensible moral. Billy wanted two hunting dogs, but his parents couldn't afford to buy them. So he decided on his own to save up enough money to buy his dogs. With his dogs, he catches lots of coons and even wins competitions, receiving trophies and money. With this money, they can move to town, but not with the dogs. By fate, both dogs die, and a red fern grows above their graves: a sign of sacredness. This book shows you can do anything.

Summary: Where the Red Fern Grows book review
Review: Where the Red Fern Grows is a book about a young boy who sees an ad for some hounds dogs. He starts saving up money. When he finally has enough to buy them he sends in the money and the dogs come. He loves to coon hunt with the dogs, so his grandfather tells him he should enter the coon hunt race. Although there was tough competition Billy and his dogs won the coon hunt race and took home a trophy and some cash. I liked this book because it was interesting the whole way through and once you start reading it you cant stop. It keeps getting more and more interesting! It has a sad but good ending to it that's makes it one of my favorite books.

Summary: A Tearjerker to Love
Review: This is one of those books every child should read, especially those that love dogs. It follows the story of a young boy, Jesses, who wants to be a coon hunter more than anything. He works hard and saves his money for a pair of coonhounds, Little Ann and Old Dan. With his faithful dogs at his side, Jesse finds a lot of adventure and a lot of coons up in the hills around his rural home. In good conscience, I cannot go into any more detail but I defy anyone to put this book down unchanged.

I recently reread the book for the first time in ten years and was as moved and brokenhearted as I was when I first read it. This is one of those books that will remain on my bookshelf no matter how old I get.

Summary: "Where the Red Fern Grows"
Review: "Where the Red Fern Grows"
By Wilson Rawls

Would you do anything to get a dog? Billy in "Where the Red Fern Grows," asks his parents if they will buy him one, but they refuse. He secretly catches "coons" (raccoons) and sells their hides until he has enough to buy two good hounds.
The two dogs and Billy have many adventures. The book makes you feel as if you are really there. When the clever dogs tree a "coon" you can literally hear the baying of the hounds and the whines of the trapped raccoon.
Billy would make a good role model for any boy. He's brave even when he is faced with the most extreme danger of the whole valley, a mountain lion! When he hunts he combines determination with smarts to catch his "coons." He stays happy even when times are hard. "Where the Red Fern Grows" has some tough words so I recommend it for readers ten and up. Four out of five stars.

Summary: Necessary reading for all children
Review: What a treasure. I read this book on a week-long absence from grade school while I was recuperating from some childhood illness. It was my first long book, and my first real introduction to death. I heartily cried at the close of this book and it taught me two lessons that I'll never forget: that life is temporary and you must fill it with as much joy, adventure and love as you can while you are here; and that no dream is out of reach if your desire is strong enough. Two lessons that any child would do well to learn as early as possible. Highly recommended for all kids aged 7 to 14.

Where the Red Fern Grows is a story about a boy named Billy Coleman, Little Ann, and Old Dan. Billy worked and worked to get these two red hounds and loves them dearly. He trains his puppies to grow you as a good coon hunter. Little Ann and Old Dan grow up and become known as the best hounds, but can they withstand a mountain lion?

This book is a great book. I think the main reasons that make this book a book that you cant put down after you pick it up is because of they way the author wrote this book. And it taught me the differences about country life compared the city.

Wilson Rawls makes the reader feel like I am right beside the two dogs and Billy while hunting and all their adventures, especially when the book said, ¡°my eyes were wide, my throat dry, and my heart thumping. One judge stopped in front of Little Ann. My heart stopped, too. Reaching over, he patted her on the head.¡± This book showed me the difference between the country and the city. It showed me this when Billy went to the city and people were making fun of hi. The book¡¯s exact words when a lady made fun of Billy were, ¡°the little old lady was sitting down, rocking with laughter.

My favorite part of the book was when Billy, Little Ann, Old Dan, Billy¡¯s father and grandfather went to the coon hunting contest. I really like this part because it was very adventurous. They went through a storm, lost track of some people, and get people injured.
