I brought this book for my grandson. I think all young children should enjoy this classic. A heart warming story about a boy and his dog, even through it has a sad part in it. A good story for all young people to read and learn.

This was a great book to use to learn about friendship, hardwork, and sadness. A must for every child. If you like Old Yeller and The Incredibble Journey you will certainly enjoy this book. Cannot decide which book to read for a school report this it. There are so many great themes to choose from and the characters are well defined.

I have a 12 year old grandson that had mentioned to me he would like to get a copy of the book "Where the Red Fern Grows" to read. He said that he started reading a copy of it in his school library at the end last years school year and when school ended he had to return it without finishing it. I have been on the lookout for this book for him at various stores with no luck at all. Then it dawned on me to look on Ebay and I had more than enough copies of this title to choose from. I had offerings of new, used, hard cover & paperback at all different price points. I find myself buying more & more items from Ebay. Selection, conveniance, price, why go anywhere else.
Ebay...The Logical Choice

I used this book as a teaching tool for my daughter on how to have determination. She wanted a dog and wondered how to get the money. I have her read this to show if she works hard with God all things are possible. She is 11 and is really excited to raise chickens to sell and stick to it. God will help her if she helps her self.

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY GRANDSONS REQUIRED READING IN SCHOOL. IT WAS A SMOOTH TRANSACTION AND AM VERY PLEASED WITH IS.

This book has been an amazing story for me and my daughter to read together. We both laughed and cried. The writing is descriptive and beautiful. I will be reading it with all of my children as they get old enough to comprehend.

I bought this book for my grown son who lost his copy. It has been one of his favorite books since childhood. He hopes to pass on the story to his children.
