5.0 out of 5 stars A book that realy hits home for me, May 30, 2003

I first read Where The Red Fern Grows when I was 13 years old. I had seen the movie on several occasions, but it wasnt untill the sad death of my own Old Dan that I felt that I just had to read the book. Like the Coleman family, mine was very poor living in the dried up south east Texas oil fields. Many was the time that My only companion was my dog Old Dan. Many was the time that the only activities there were for me to do was going exploring through the woods that surrounded our home for miles and miles. I would find it hard to believe that anyone cant find some part of this story to relate to. Before I read Where The Red Fern Grows, I had never read a book in my life. Not only did I discover a wonderful story that I was almost living out myself, but also I discovered a massive love for reading. All I can say is that you are selling yourself short if you dont read this story. I think I'll go pick up my copy and read it again.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Where the Red Fern Grows: Mcdougal Littell Literature Connections (Hardcover)

I thought that Where the red Fern Grows was a wonderful, heart warming book. I felt that the author really felt as if he were the characters. It was like he was telling the story from a different perspective. Wilson Rawls did an excellent job writting this novel. I would definatly reccomend this book to others. Especially children beetween the ages of 9 and 12. This book is a great way to learn how much you have, and how much you should be thankful for. It also teaches people how much times have changed and how lucky we are to have all the things we have now.

Where The Red Fern Grows is an excellent story which transcends age related interest groups defined as adult or children. This story shares timeless moral and value concepts inherent in religous and philosophical traditions. An easy read, this heartfelt story will touch anyone who has compassion for others and can see beyond the self.
