In the rugged landscape of early frontier Texas, fourteen-year-old Travis is faced with taking over his family's farm and making a painful, important decision. At first, Travis couldn't stand the sight of Old Yeller The stray dog was ugly, and a thieving rascal, too. But he sure was clever, and a smart dog could be a big help on the wild Texas frontier, especially with Papa away on a long cattle drive up to Abilene. Strong and courageous, Old Yeller proved that he could protect Travis's family from any sort of danger. But can Travis do the same for Old Yeller? 1957 Newbery Honor Book Notable Children's Books of 1940-1970 (ALA) 1959 William Allen White Award 1959 Sequoya Award (Oklahoma) 1959 Young Readers' Choice Award (Pacific Northwest Library Association |
