About this listen

When a novel like Huckleberry Finn or The Yearling comes along, it defies customary adjectives because of the intensity of the response it evokes in the reader. Such a tale is Old Yeller; to listen to this eloquently simply story of a boy and his dog in the Texas hill country is an unforgettable and deeply moving experience.©1956 Fred Gipson (P)2009 HarperCollins Publishers Animal Fiction Classics Dogs Fiction Growing Up Growing Up & Facts of Life Historical Fiction

What the critics say

"There is something special in the telling of this story which makes it more than just a tender account of a boy's love for his dog, and more than a tale of frontier days. It is the combination of excellent writing and the sensitivity to human emotions that places it on a shelf with the classics." ( Saturday Review of Literature)
"Exciting and heartwarming indeed. Recommended for adults and teenagers." ( Library Journal)

Old Yeller

I had never read “Old Yeller” before, but wanted to. I decided to choose an audiobook because I wanted my sons to listen also and figured I couldn’t get through it without bawling. Well, I won’t regret that! The narrator was a perfect fit for this classic! He made came alive, along with the music added to it. We all enjoyed it very much! I will listen to it again.

Such a classic!

This was a wonderful book for me and my eleven year old to listen to. We both enjoyed the narrator very much and the story was about a young man learning the difficulties of homesteading while his father is away. Heart wrenching.
