ITS AN AMAZIN BOOK I READ IT IN THE 6TH GRADE
Wilson Rawls live in my hometown when he wrote this book and I belived he lived in S.E. Idaho until he died. At the library in Idaho Falls, there is a beautiful bronze statue, of Billy, Old Dan and Little Anne. http://www.ifpl.org/index.asp?p=rawls...
Needless to say this has special meaning to me. My older brother and sister have autographed copies of the 1st edition.

I read this book in 7th grade and started crying at the end... very sad and heartfelt.
A beautiful book of friendship, and a historically accurate depiction of life in the Ozarks during that time. Written like it's a story being told over a campfire. One of the most wonderful and engaging books I've ever read. In my top ten of all time...and I didn't read it until my early 20s :)
One of the greatest books ever, in my opinion. My third grade teacher first read this to us, and I think I read it five or six times after that. It certainly gets to the heart.
Although it's been a few years since I've read it, I can honestly say this book is one of the most touching books I've ever read and I remember crying at the end of it! Beautiful book that teaches us a lot about friendship.
Great book. I haven't read it in years and it still sticks with me.

I read this as a senior in high school...and was reading in it class and trying not to cry! AWESOME book...one I will never forget
I loved this book and read in 6th grade, and my son is now a 6th grader and currently reading it, he heard it was sad and keeps asking me what is going to happen, I told him keep reading, it is a wonderful, sad story, but worth the read. I loved it.
The first book I ever read that made me cry. I LOVE this book and would recommend it to anyone-there's something in it for everybody.
My son read this when he was in the middle school. He hates to read. I have to pull out all of his teeth and twist his arm to read, but he read this AND crid too. I think it would be impossible for anyone not to cry during this, even the hardest of hearts.
This is an amazing and touching book. It is very much about more than just a story of a boy and his dogs, but what a story that is!My third grade teacher read us the book, and I remember how much I loved it even through all the tears. When I was a baby, my mom had a black lab. My mom said when I was born she and I became inseparable. I understood how Billy felt when he lost his dogs.
In recent years, I had a chocolate lab that I swear could read my mind and was more human than dog. We tried to fool her by spelling words like cookie and she still knew what we meant. I still cry when I think of her. The bond between people and their dogs are special.
I haven't read this book in a few years, I think because I read it so much when I was younger I still about have it memorized. I still can't even think of the end without a tear in my eye, and when Old Dan's tail wags for the final time.
It's a true treasure of a story.
this has to be the saddest book in the entire world!! Also, i thought that the story line was just boring! If you like dogs,then DO NOT read this book,EVER!!!
Loved loved loved this book. Yes, it's sad, but so very awesome.
It's an amazing book, and if you read it I promise you will cry! I think everyone needs to read it in their lifetime!
Has anyone read SUmmer of the Monkeys by Wilson Rawls, the same author of Where the Red Fern Grows? It's LOL funny! I read it because I wanted to read something else by Rawls since Red Fern was so good. BOth books are stellar.
