Dear Ms.Vallejo
I believe you should read this book for many reason. It’s a heartbreaking and joyful story. The greatest dog story ever told, Where the Red Fern Grows. The kid and his dogs go through good and bad things. Like when they win the hunting championship. You won’t want to stop reading, because it is so exciting. You don’t know what will happen next like when the mountain lion attack the dogs you don’t know if the dogs well survive. It talks about a boy called Billy who is a twelve year old boy, who lives in Cherokee country, by the Ozark Mountains. Billy has always wanted a dog, but his family is too poor to buy dogs. Billy works a long time to buy two hound puppies. He trains the two puppies, Old Dan and Little Ann. They learn to hunt coons. And that show you that he works for his things. And he was a very loving person. The ending is really sad, and I have to say I’m not a huge dog lover or anything, but I totally balled at the end. The reason is because the boy lost his dog that he wants though everything with. This book is great for dog lovers or other animal lovers, but I recommend reading it at home in case you don't want anyone to see you cry (everyone I know whose read it has cried). This is a great classic book. This why you should read this book because it really does get to you. But it is still a great book of a young boy going hunting with his two best dogs.
