From 2006 through 2010 I had the extreme honor and scary responsibility of
teaching 4th graders in the California public school system. Each of those
five years I read this book to my kids, but before I read it to them I asked
if any of them had heard of it. Much to my total amazement none of them had (
one year a student said he had, but when further questioned he knew nothing
about the story , kids and adults do that sometimes huh Penny!) I also showed
them the movie after I read the book. When I moved on to 6th graders ( middle
schoolers are to BIG to be read to) Old Yeller got 86ed.... Tried to find my
book cuz it's been 0ver 6 years since I last read it! Couldn't find it cuz
perhaps I gave it to the 4th grade teacher who took over my old classroom.
Thank God for Amazon! If for some reason you have never read this book, I
suggest you do.... The author is Fred Gibson, it was written in 1956, I was
three. Ed
