Where the red fern grows
By Wilson Rawls
Where the red fern grows is a story about a boy who honestly wants a dog, gets two honestly, and honestly deserves every prize he receives.
He earned the money for his dogs working for two years straight, piercing his feet on thorns to get berries, doing every chore he can do, and finally, he earns the 50 dollars and buys his dogs.
His dogs are Little Ann and Old Dan, the two inseparable forever. Where one goes, the other follows, they would fight together, play together, hunt together, sleep together and die together, If they have to.
I was required to read this book, and I was very uneasy about the coon hunting, but after a while, you understand what it means to Billy. I also didn't think much of chopping down a tree days on end to get one coon...But, it serves the purpose of showing what trust there is between the three, a determination that will never yield....
Though it might have a sad ending, the end still leads hope.

Where the Red Fern Grows, is where Billy Colman lives in the Oklahoma Ozark Mountains. Billy wanted to get two smart hunting hounds. His parents said no, because they cost too much money. Billy knew a basket of berries would sell for 10 cents per bucket. He sold the berries along with other things to the neighbors to make money to buy his dogs. Two years later Billy saves up enough money for two $25.00 hunting hounds. Billy has the money for his dogs, and he went to the depot to get them. He ran into trouble along the way. He got his dogs. Next , he started to train his dogs to be coon hunters. Billy wanted to trap lots of raccoons. He also enters a contest to see who can get the most coons on a certain night and day. Billy has a couple accidents along the way. But, what will happen in the contest. My favorite character in this story is Billy Coleman because he was a very good thinker when it comes to problems in the woods.
I recommend that everybody should enjoy reading this thoughtful, adventurous classic book.

After that, Billy continues his hunting adventures but one night he coons what he think might be a coon but it's really a mountain lion to find out what happens to Billy and his dogs you will have to read this book.
Where the Red Fern Grows was a terrific book and was my favorite books that I've ever read. I loved it because of how many feelings you can feel all at the same time just by reading it. Also because of how Wilson Rawls described everything in the book with great detail. This was such a great book I gave it a five because it always kept me hanging and I never wanted to put the book down.

Book Review: Blubbering like a baby all over again
Summary: 5 Stars
"Where the Red Fern Grows" is a classic old favorite which occupies a very tender spot in my heart--it's the first book I ever cried over. And I mean I bawled. I am a female who happens to be a cat lover, but this story of a boy and his hunting dogs tore me apart inside, even as a kid. I hadn't read it in years, so when I saw it on display in the library a while back, I picked it up on a whim. By the time I finished the heartwarming tale of Billy and his beloved, loyal dogs, Old Dan and Little Ann, I was blubbering like a baby all over again, every bit as much as I did the first time I read it at the tender age of 11 or 12.
Billy's pure love for his dogs and his single-minded determination to pursue his hunting dreams drive this beautifully written story to its five-hanky conclusion. It doesn't matter that it is technically a children's book. It's a universal story of love and loss and realizing your dreams. Just make sure to have a box of Kleenex handy. I guarantee you will need it.
Book Review: Where the Red Fern Grows
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the book Where the Red Fern Grows, by Wilson Rawls. I really liked this book. I was extremely interesting.
This book is about a boy who is crazy about coonhounds. But his mom and dad didn't have enough money to buy them. So Billy Coleman saved fifty dollars for dogs, it took two years. He walked to the nearest town for the two dogs. When he finally got the dogs, he was really excited.
When he got home, his parents wondered what was in the sack he was carrying. It was the pups. He finally settled for Old Dan and Little Ann.
After awhile Billy's dogs were the champions of coon hunting in the Ozarks. One day Billy went to his Grandpa's store and his Grandpa had found a newspaper article. It was about Championship Coon Hunting.
Although Billy didn't win he still ended up with the gold cup and the prize money. At the end of the story his dogs died.
I really enjoyed this book. I think it is the best. I really like the genre too.
