What the Critics Say
"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)

"Old Yeller"
I love the old children classics. This is my taste. I read "The Tailors Daughter" that was so boring and not my personality. I think I need to stick to the children's books.

"Can't go wrong with a classic!"
What did you love best about Old Yeller?Great story that captured the heart of my son.
Who was your favorite character and why?Old Yeller was the best character. Although he had no spoken lines, he was the heart of the story. He displayed loyalty, courage and love and even some comic relief and a touch of mischief.
What does Peter Francis James bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?For a child with dyslexia, the reader adds support as he reads along with the story. My son would not have experienced the story at all without the support of the reader. He would not have had the confidence to read a book of that length without the audio.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?The only thing that kept my son from reading/listening in one sitting was bed time.

"My son loved it"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?Yes, it's one of the classics....you have to read (or listen to Old Yeller at least once)
What was one of the most memorable moments of Old Yeller?(Spoiler alert) My son says... "when the dog dies, you definitely don't forget that"
Which character – as performed by Peter Francis James – was your favorite?Travis
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?"It made me cry"...per the son. I say if you read this book and don't cry there is something seriously wrong with you.
Any additional comments?My son says he would have liked it better if there was a happier ending.
