What would be a good age to read for first time? Have a 9 yr old grandson I think he would love it

Do you mean "Where the Red Fern Grows"? It's a kids book, age 9 should be right up his alley.

yup about 9 is great , my dad read it to me the first time around 8 I think and I think it was 6th or 7th grade when we read it in school.

that boy is definitely going to want you to take him hunting or trapping after you read it to him.

if you have an oil lantern , and an ax he might would like to try navigating at night with an oil lantern and cut down even a small tree with an ax

Yup 9 is definitely old enough. I think I was about 8 when I read it and then promptly embarked on doing as Billy did. Buried my mason jar of money in the garden, lol. Took me 2 years to save the money for a red puppy but I did, and got it.

Your grandson will likely want a hound though, once he reads it.

Red Fernando, the mexican version.

Story about a fighting bull??

You guys are brutal.

Thx guys guess I fat fingered that one

I suggest you take him coon hunting a few nights first so he will have a better understanding.

Shut up Mod.




My son is 8, he has read the book. Both boys have seen the movie.

I happen to have a litter of 3 week old lil Dans and Annes if he enjoys it. First redbones I have raised but I really like the parents as they are extremely family friendly and good coon dogs. The old movie is better than the newer one.

Do they have a pedigree?

See if you can turn them hound dogs into a bull

Mexican communist?

I gave my kids teacher a tanned coon when they were reading that book.
