Loading... Big Red (1945)by Jim Kjelgaard
Story of a show dog with more than 'looks', and the boy who sees the dog's potential to be more than a ribbon winner. The first of the 'Red' series. (  ) fuzzi | Jun 16, 2012 |  A story of the relationship between a boy and a dog. Surprising that Kjelgaard is not on more to-read lists. I found him more readable than some of the DeJong dog books which are held in high regard. One reason may be that the reading level of Kjelgaard is lower, and the interest level is a little higher than with some books on reading lists. All the Red books by Kjelgaard are worth reading, and will be well received. mebrock | Jun 24, 2009 | One of the memorable dog books of my youth. (  ) thesmellofbooks | Apr 3, 2009 | One of my favorite children's books. I would recommend it to all dog lovers. (  )1  allwebdeals | Jun 21, 2008 | 3988. Big Red: The Story of a Champion Irish Setter and a Trapper's Son Who Grew Up Together Roaming the Wilderness, by Jim Kjelgaard (read 17 Feb 2005) A while ago I saw a list of "good boys' books" and this title was on it. It was first published in 1945 and tells of a 17-year-old boy and his dog and their adventures. There are some exciting times, but the book is not really very well written, there being no classiness about the writing. It does not hold a candle to the best book of this type I have ever read: Where the Red Fern Grows, by Wilson Rawls (read 28 May 1994). ( ) Schmerguls | Oct 14, 2007 | no reviews | add a review
