Check it out!

This book is about a dog and his owner who go through many encounters of danger. The boy in this story Travis had a dog before old yeller but that dog died. The boy Travis his dad is going out West to find work and travis must be the man of the house. He has to do all the jobs his father did and take care of his little brother and put food on the table. When Travis gets this new dog he doesn't think he will like it because it reminds him of his old dog. But as time time goes by you will find out that Travis really loves this dog and will do anything to make sure its alright and is not harmed. The ending will bring tears to your eyes.
I am judging this book to other books. This book Is a classic book that you would really enjoy if you like books about adventure and sorrow.
This book reaches its goals of trying to get you to keep flipping the pages. This is a great book
This would be a great book for you and your family that if you would read it im sure you would enjoy

Old Yeller

Who was Old Yeller? Old Yeller is a stray, ugly, and a thieving dog. Old Yeller protected Travis' family. Travis' dad is away for 4 months. Old Yeller and Travis developed a very special bond.
Travis is not Yellers real owner. His family found him at their house chasing their horses. He was a strong and courageous dog. Yeller was a big help on the wild Texas frontier.
Old Yeller protected Travis' family from any kind of danger. He protected them from a coyote. Yeller was my favorite character. He was an excellent guard dog.
I connect to this book because Old Yeller is just like my dog dog Emma. They both steal things. I love Emma just the way Travis loved Yeller.
I recommend you to read this book by Fred Gipson to people of all ages. It is a very classical book. The book is about a dog that helps a family. I think people will enjoy it the same way I did.

Old Yeller is a story of hope, adventure, and heart.

“We call him Old Yeller. The name had a sort of double meaning. One part meant that his short hair was a dingy yellow, a color that we called “yeller” in those days. The other meant that when he opened his head, the sound he let out came closer to being a yell than a bark.” That is the dog that has been through everything, Old Yeller. Old Yeller is a dog of adventure. He is always getting into trouble, but is a wonderful dog to the family. There is so much that happens with Old Yeller around. For example, “The man’s name was Burn Sanderson. He told Mama who he was. He said that he had come from down San Antonio.” Burn Sanderson came looking for Old Yeller. Old Yeller supposedly was his lost dog, and he wanted him back. In this book you go through the crazy life of Old Yeller. At the end of the book, I was so connected to Old Yeller I cried. It was like letting a best friend go. Every page was full of great detail. The book takes you back in time when things were a lot different. I felt like I was on all the adventures of that “yeller” colored dog. Old Yeller shows that letting things go always comes in life, it doesn’t just happen to one person it happens to everyone. Old Yeller is a story of hope, adventure, and heart.

Read it. Right now.

I've read this book quite a bit, and I never get tired of reading it. Its a real tearjerker... but I love the compassion and the love that Travis feels for Yeller. Travis had to hold down the job of being man of the house while his dad is gone, and one day Yeller showed up. In the beginning, Travis had no patience for Yeller. But as Yeller became part of the family, he protected Arliss from wild animals. I must say that I found it hilarious that the youngster threw rocks at Travis when he kicked the dog. I didnt find the kicking very funny, but the fact that Arliss got angry and went after Travis with rocks and later a stick (one of the ones from the old days that was used to beat the dirt out of clothing) made me chuckle. The story flow was smooth. The language actually makes you visualize whats happening as you read along. Yeller was called Yeller for 2 reasons. Firstly, yeller is actually a color- kind of a dirty yellow. And the second reason is that whenever he barked, he sounded like he was yelling. Its a very heartwarming story, and I recommend it for all ages. The first time I read it was when I was in 3rd grade. I'm a freshman in highschool now, and Ive reread it many times. Absolute favorite book ever. READ IT. NOW. :3

I love this book. It was really sad, but I still love it. I held back my tears when Travis shot Old Yeller. And when your 9 years old, it's really hard to do!!

Book Review Outline
Book title and author: Old Yeller Fred Gipson
Title of review: Great book
Number of stars (1 to 5): ****

Introduction When you start to read the book it is boring. But if you keep reading then it turns into a exciting book. When they find old yeller at first he has stolen the meat. Travis wants to get rid of him but momma wants to keep him for Arliss.

Description and summary of main points Some main points of the book were when Arliss almost got attacked by a momma bear. And another one is when Travis and old yeller get attacked by hogs.

Evaluation I felt that it was a great book and should be read by everyone. One part that I really like is when Travis's mom said "Well have to try to figure some way to keep him from prowling. Everyone in the settlement will be made at use if we don't.

Conclusion You might ; at first, think the book is a boring book. But if you keep reading the book then you will change your mind. But if you don't then you don't like the book.

Your final review I loved it!!!!!! ?
