Old Yeller by Fred Gipson
4.0

This was my favorite movie growing up but I had never read the book until now! I enjoyed referencing back to the movie and comparing how different scenarios were played out. What I took away from the book was the importance of family unity, respect for each other, and the comfort/joy that Old Yeller brought!

“I knew then that I loved him as much as I did Mamma and Papa, maybe in some ways even a little bit more. (Travis talking about brother Arliss.) So it was only natural for me to come to love the dog that saved him.”
