Old Yeller

De: Fred Gipson

Narrado por: Peter Francis James

When a novel like Huckleberry Finn or The Yearling comes along, it defies customary adjectives because of the intensity of the response it evokes in the reader. Such a tale is Old Yeller; to listen to this eloquently simply story of a boy and his dog in the Texas hill country is an unforgettable and deeply moving experience.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"There is something special in the telling of this story which makes it more than just a tender account of a boy's love for his dog, and more than a tale of frontier days. It is the combination of excellent writing and the sensitivity to human emotions that places it on a shelf with the classics." ( Saturday Review of Literature)
"Exciting and heartwarming indeed. Recommended for adults and teenagers." ( Library Journal)

12 Yr Old Son Loved It

My son and I listened to it together. He LOVED it! We highly recommend it

A focus on what is important in a world of fluff

As a father of two boys under 10, I am always on the look-out for stories that focus on what is important in life. Old Yeller is a terrific coming of age story which is a must read for all boys younger than 14. Travis represents a boy of yesteryear who would have been a common commodity of the time, but today, extremely under represented. The character Travis represents a boy with strong work ethic, principles, loyalty, love of family, personal responsibility & accountablitiy, and ultimately love of a dog. Travis' relationship with Yeller goes beyond a simple relationship with a dog who helps the family survive during precarious times and precarious circumstances. I found myself pausing during certain intervals of the book to explain to my boys some of the deeper meaning of many of the decisions made by Travis. My sons looked forward to the daily commute and we listened to this book within one week.
