recommended for: kids and their dads
My dad was a fifth grade teacher. He read this book and Where the Red Fern Grows aloud to his class every year. When I was in around fifth grade, we read it together. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to read the same book outloud to a class of kids every year for like ten years in a row. Probably a pretty interesting exercise.
Has anyone else heard the story of Wilson Rawls? About how he burned up five novels he wrote because he was ashamed of his barely literate writing ability, but then his daughter found out and helped him rewrite two of them before he died?
